M4 Carbine Flat Dark Earth Magpul UBR
I built this over the year so it’s had a standard green stock and hand guard on it. Now it’s finally finished and outfitted as follows:
BCM 14.5″ carbine upper with permanently attached flash hider.
Stag Lower
Magpul FDE:

If you’re thinking about setting up a MythTV box, understand one thing. It’s a lifestyle not a system.
You’ll love it and it’ll hate you back every day. You’ll buy the best hardware for it and it’ll spit in your face. Then you’ll turn around and spend all weekend trying to gain its favor back. atrpms.net is like her ugly, bitchy, smelly, truly unpleasant BFF. Always working against you, teasing you, making you think you’ve finally built up a relationship with her only to carelessly removes a critical and popular driver in a random build bringing every thing down around you, but only after spending half a day discovering this.
…from surplusammo.com (I walked in, I didn’t order online.) Only $80 for 200 rounds. I was a bit worried about the nickel plating and accuracy, but I figured that I’d make up any loss
in barrel performance due to the nickel (if any) in the price of the ammo. Barrels are easily replaceable. The accuracy was acceptable too. The last image is at 100 yards. Note that I’m not a great shot and I think my scope was on the fritz…

The press is so worthless that protecting it is of little benefit to protecting our liberty.

K, I’ve got 4 2GB drives mirrored and welded together with LVM. I backed up everything on the old volume (twice in some cases).
I deleted the old 6.5 TB Volume. That takes balls.
I created a new 1.5TB mirror with two drives and grew the new Volume with the command:
mdadm –create /dev/md3 –level=1 –raid-devices=2 /dev/sd[bc]2
pvcreate /dev/md3
vgextend RaidDataGroup /dev/md3
lvextend -l +5126 /dev/RaidDataGroup/RaidData
xfs_growfs /Volumes/data
I’m now restoring the data.
So I’ve got four new 2TB drives mirrored together in pairs with mdadm, then welded together with LVM. Here are the commands I used to execute the build.
fdisk /dev/sdf
# note the mdadm arguments below are prefixed with double dashes.
mdadm –create /dev/md1 –level=1 –raid-devices=2 /dev/sd[fh]1
mdadm –create /dev/md2 –level=1 –raid-devices=2 /dev/sd[gi]1
pvcreate /dev/md1
pvcreate /dev/md2
vgcreate -s 256M RaidDataGroup /dev/md1 /dev/md2
lvcreate -l 14904 –name RaidData RaidDataGroup
mkfs.xfs -i size=1024 /dev/RaidDataGroup/RaidData
mkdir /Volumes/newdata
mount /dev/RaidDataGroup/RaidData /Volumes/newdata
