+
+Sometimes, your linux machine can get stuck while booting and drop you into an initramfs shell.
+
+## The solution
+
+All initramfs are potentially different, but almost always feature busybox and common mechanisms. Recently I had to finish booting from an initramfs shell, here is how I used `switch_root` to do so :

+## The problem
+
+Centos kernels tend to accumulate unless you clean them regularly.
+
+## The solution
+
There is a setting in `/etc/yum.conf` that does exactly that : `installonly_limit=`. The value of this setting is the number of older kernels that are kept when a new kernel is installed by yum. If the number of installed kernels becomes greater than this, the oldest one gets removed at the same time a new one is installed.
This cleaning can also be done manually with a command that belongs to the yum-utils package : `package-cleanup –oldkernels –count=2`

+## The problem
+
+Spaces are used to separate fields in the fstab, if you have spaces in the path of a mount point we cannot type them directly.
+
+## The solution
+
Here is how to use spaces in a folder name in fstab : you put `\040` where you want a space.
