lvm and PV listing

Goal

I would like to list the PVs involved in a VG. Neither "vgs" nor "vgdisplay" tells me. I need that information in order to install and clone an existing Debian using LVM and want to have the same LVM configuration.

Recipe

The "vgs" output: 
 root@maila:~# vgs   VG    #PV #LV #SN Attr   VSize   VFree     disk0   1   1   0 wz--n- 931,51G 520,00M   disk1   1   2   0 wz--n- 447,13G 397,13G
The "pvs" output: 
 root@maila:~# pvs   PV         VG    Fmt  Attr PSize   PFree     /dev/md1   disk1 lvm2 a-   447,13G 397,13G   /dev/md2   disk0 lvm2 a-   931,51G 520,00M
How to read it:
  • There is only one PV per VG
  • "md1" belongs to the VG disk1
  • "md2" belongs to the VG disk0
If the output where: 
 root@maila:~# pvs   PV         VG       /dev/md1   disk1    /dev/md2   disk0          /dev/md3   disk1    /dev/md4   disk0          /dev/md5   disk1    /dev/md6   disk0          /dev/md7   disk1    /dev/md8   disk0
Then that would mean:
  • There are 4 PVs per VG
  • "md1", "md3", "md5" and "md7" belong to the VG disk1
  • "md2", "md4", "md6" and "md8" belong to the VG disk0

npm run build base-href

Using NPM to specify base-href When building an Angular application, people usually use "ng" and pass arguments to that invocation. Typically, when wanting to hard code "base-href" in "index.html", one will issue: ng build --base-href='https://ngx.rktmb.org/foo' I used to build my angular apps through Bamboo or Jenkins and they have a "npm" plugin. I got the habit to build the application with "npm run build" before deploying it. But the development team once asked me to set the "--base-href='https://ngx.rktmb.org/foo'" parameter. npm run build --base-href='https://ngx.rktmb.org/foo did not set the base href in indext.html After looking for a while, I found https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/13560 where it says: You need to use −− to pass arguments to npm scripts. This did the job! The command to issue is then: npm run build -- --base-href='https://ngx.rktmb.org/foo&

emacs29 intelephense

Emacs 29 and PHP Intelephense I use to use Emacs and PHP Intelephense for PHP development. I recently upgraded to Emacs 29 and PHP Intelephense stopped working. I found a solution on Reddit Based on that, I rewrote my .emacs file to use eglot instead of lsp-mode, and this is the result. (use-package eglot :ensure t) (add-hook 'php-mode-hook 'eglot-ensure) (use-package php-mode :ensure t :mode ("\\.php\\'" . php-mode)) (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.php$" . php-mode)) (provide 'lang-php) (use-package company :ensure t :config (setq company-idle-delay 0.3) (global-company-mode 1) (global-set-key (kbd "M- ") 'company-complete)) (require 'eglot) (add-to-list 'eglot-server-programs '((php-mode :language-id "php") .
