• Create a physical volume for LVM:

# pvcreate /dev/sda3
Physical volume “/dev/sda3″ successfully created

• Add the new physical volume to the volume group:

 #vgextend vg0 /dev/sda3
Volume group “vg0″ successfully extended

• Extend the Logical Volume, you can find the amount of space with which you can expand by running the ‘vgdisplay’ command and use the value from “Free PE/Size”

# lvextend -L+24.99G /dev/vg0/lv0
  Rounding up size to full physical extent 24.99 GB
  Extending logical volume lv0 to 39.09 GB
  Logical volume lv0 successfully resized

1) set URL for parent links that you don’t want to take you anywhere to http://fake.link

2) add the following code to your template.php (at bottom is fine) – note prefix of function name is the template name ${template_name}_menu_item_link()

function zeropoint_menu_item_link($link) {
 if (empty($link['localized_options'])) {
 $link['localized_options'] = array();
 }

 if (!$link['page_callback'] && strpos( $link['href'], 'fake.link')) {
 return '<a href="#">'. $link['title'] .'</a>';
 }
 else {
 return l($link['title'], $link['href'], $link['localized_options']);
 }
}

3) check your navigation bar

For a entry-by-entry method to prevent the sending of errors and output, add any one of the following at the end of the line for each cron job to redirect output to /dev/null:
>/dev/null 2>&1.
OR
&> /dev/null

as in

0 1 5 10 * /path/to/script.sh >/dev/null 2>&1

or to enforce for all entries in the crontab, enter the following to the first line of your crontab:

MAILTO=""

when using a customized Drupal Zen Theme, and Nice Menus instead of the standard Primary Navigation Menu extra padding can appear above or below the navigation bar. The Nice Menu is a block and inherits the default margin from Zen’s CSS.

.block /* Block wrapper */
{
margin-bottom: 1em;
}

#block-nice_menus-1 {
margin-bottom: 0;
}
