>> First we need to create Physical Volume. PV is chunks of 4MBs
>> Then create Volume Group using this PV.
>> THen create Logical Volume.

Password reset too simplistic/systematic issue

Some time when we try to reset the password of our user in linux it will show as simple and systematic as below: BAD PASSWORD: it is too simplistic/systematic no matter how hard password you give it will show the same. Solution: ######### Check if your password is Ok with the below command, jino@ndz~$ echo 'D7y8HK#56r89lj&8*&^%&^%#56rlKJ!789l' | cracklib-check D7y8HK#56r89lj&8*&^%&^%#56rlKJ!789l: it is too simplistic/systematic Now Create a password with the below command : jino@ndz~$ echo $(tr -dc '[:graph:]' 7\xi%!W[y*S}g-H7W~gbEB4cv,9:E:K; You can see that this password will be ok with the cracklib-check. jino@ndz~$ echo '7\xi%!W[y*S}g-H7W~gbEB4cv,9:E:K;' | cracklib-check                 7\xi%!W[y*S}g-H7W~gbEB4cv,9:E:K;: OK Thats all, Thanks.

Running K8s cluster service kubelet with Swap Memory Enabled

For enabling swap memory check the below link : https://jinojoseph.blogspot.com/2019/10/enable-swap-memory-using-swapfile-in.html # sudo vi /etc/systemd/system/kubelet.service.d/10-kubeadm.conf Add the KUBELET_EXTRA_ARGS line as below: ---------------------------------------- Environment="KUBELET_EXTRA_ARGS=--fail-swap-on=false" ExecStart= ExecStart=/usr/bin/kubelet $KUBELET_KUBECONFIG_ARGS $KUBELET_CONFIG_ARGS $KUBELET_KUBEADM_ARGS $KUBELET_EXTRA_ARGS Now kubelet.service changed on disk. Run 'systemctl daemon-reload' to reload units # sudo systemctl daemon-reload # sudo systemctl restart kubelet # sudo systemctl status kubelet That is all cheers :p
