Error: I'm afraid this is the first I've heard of a "trackback" flavoured Blosxom. Try dropping the "/+trackback" bit from the end of the URL.

mlocate

Notes from setting up the server:

The installation package for ClearCase on RedHat/Centos 5.0 has a glitch: it doesn't configure mlocate properly, so it gets into an infinite loop in the /view directory tree and eats up all the available disk space.

According to an IBM technote the workaround is to edit /etc/updatedb.conf, and add 'mvfs' and 'nfs' to the PRUNEFS variable and '/view' and '/vobs' to the PRUNEPATHS variable.

I also needed to clean out the 32 Gig file that had built up in /var/lib/mlocate, and reboot the image to make it realize it had available disk space again.
