Updating udev
April 23rd, 2009
After fudging with partitions, sometimes the computer will make me reboot before I get dev nodes.
There has to be a way of forcing udev to rescan the partition layout. I need to find out how.

Gentoo/Layman/eix -update problems.
February 16th, 2009
`eix` is possibly the most handy tool in the (gentoo) world. Rather than having to use `emerge -s` to search through portage (or any of your overlays), `eix` keeps a database of the contents and returns search results up to 100 times faster than using emerge.
Sadly, it seems that if you add an overlay to gentoo (for example `layman -a jokey`) and then run `eix-update`, it does not include the newly added overylay, even though it re-scans the default portage tree and any other overlays you might have installed. This, is very annoying!

We have been migrating to a new server over the last couple of days, and although it was supposed to be seamless, I fucked up royally.
