		<title>Acronis True Image Home 2010 Freezes During Backup on Windows 7</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Issue:
When running backup jobs in Acronis True Image Home 2010 under Windows Vista or Windows 7, the backup job appears to stall and the operating system becomes unresponsive. The system will encounter a bugcheck condition and recover with an unclean shutdown.
Cause:

		<title>Git Subtree Merge and git-svn</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Issue: Git submodules do not play nicely with git-svn; git subtree merging is a more appropriate strategy for my specific use case.
Resolution: This is my recipe (borrowed heavily from the formal git documentation).
git checkout -b TRY-MERGE master
git remote add -f Bproject /path/to/B
git merge -s ours --no-commit Bproject/master
git read-tree --prefix=dir-B/ -u Bproject/master
git commit -m &#34;Task - [...]]]></description>

		<title>Commit a linear git history to subversion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Issue: I was recently asked to integrate my local development (which I had done under git management) into our central Subversion server. How to do this while preserving my commit history?
Resolution: After a lot of reading (and an upgrade to git-1.7.0) I found the following recipe to work for me.
git branch master.bak master
git-svn init svn://repo.domain.local/Project/trunk/sub/directory
git-svn [...]]]></description>

		<title>xinetd per_source limit issues</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Issue:
Users note availability issues when accessing services backed by xinetd (subversion, rsync, etc.)
Identification:
Syslog on the affected server will present multiple lines containing daemon per_source_limit for 0.0.0.0.
Cause:
You have exceeded per_source_limit defaults imposed by your xinetd configuration. Many distributions include per_source limits that may not be suitable for your use case. Evaluate your needs carefully.
Resolution:
Modify the default [...]]]></description>

		<title>Reset HP Integrated Lights Out Board to Factory Defaults</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Issue:
Cannot login to HP Integrated Lights Out Board (bad credentials).

Someone failed to record the configuration.

		<title>Honor Guest IDE/SATA Flush Requests</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Issue:
VirtualBox ignores IDE/SATA disk flush requests.
Cause:
This is by design. To improve performance VirtualBox ignores these requests. This can create an issue with filesystems that do not have fsck-like tools (ZFS is an example) create a situation where the on disk information is inconsistent due to data held in RAM.
Solution:
To enable flushing for IDE disks, issue [...]]]></description>

		<title>Replace Pipes with Tabs in a Delimited File</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Issue:
It is often necessary to replace delimiters in a file with a form the receiving party expects. sed is my favorite method of meeting the need.
Solution:
Replace double pipes with tabs
sed 's/&#124;&#124;/ &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; /g' file.in &#62; file.out
Note: If you find the tab key simply does not work, try CTRL+V+I from your terminal.

		<title>Remove a Range of Unwanted ZFS Snapshots from the Command Line</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Remove a range of unwanted snapshots, from the command line, if necessary.
In the following example, all automatic snapshots in the bash shell are removed.
for s in $&#40;zfs list -H -o name -t snapshot &#124; grep @zfs-auto-snap&#41;; do zfs destroy $s; done
One could add a secondary pipe and grep statement to filter on individual file systems.
