I’m curious if BTRFS and ZFS can do CBT?

They do for snapshotting. ZFS is reference on write. I think btrfs is the same. Then you need to compress and export snapshots.

Yeah I think that's what this addresses...

Anyone see this yet?

I really want to test it out but haven't had a chance to yet.

It turns out that the outlet that I had the switched plugged into via a powerstrip had one always on outlet and the other was switched. So whenever they would leave they would turn off the lamp connected to the switched outlet...and their network switch. Good times. I moved some things around and the switch is now on a UPS and off that switched outlet.

@wrcombs said in File Sharing:

What Fixed this issue:
I downloaded : Mspsvc.reg
and BFE.Reg

After download : Right click and select merge
repeat with second file,
Restart PC

the advanced sharing settings were set correctly.
Shared the file and Watch the Point of sale start up as normal.
Thanks for all the help.

As I said offline, the Firewall service needed to be offline for it to work unfortunately.

@irj said in Sentio, an Android Laptop Dock:

I kinda like the idea, but I hate the way they mount the phone. It looks really cheesy.

But for $129 i think it's a not a bad price

It was $150 when I looked, which seems awful given the $179 price of a great Chromebook.

@wrx7m said in dns issue? pertino:

Sorry for threadjacking - How is Cradlepoint with regards to their 4G routers? I might have a need for something like that at a secondary location that would only need access to our ERP system and doesn't have "affordable" internet available.

I highly recommend them for that purpose.

@guyinpv said in Anybody use Confluence for their project management/todos?:

@dafyre Looks like your basic list-of-checkboxes.

Can the tasks have subtasks? Can they have a description and extra text/comments added to them, or attachments?

I admin my needs seem to be complex. Or not?

I use the word "todo" but I don't mean one sentence with a checkbox next to it. I'm not making a shopping list. So I do want the extra project management stuff to go along with it like subtasks, organization by folders or projects or clients or whatever term they use.
I do like subtasks to help split up longer tasks. And a good description field for comments and notes. If it can track start and end dates, that's fine. Priority levels, cool, tags, ok, comment stream, nice, attachments handy.

Producteev worked well and it was probably very similar to Asana and those direct competitors. Guess I can try free version of Asana, see what kind of limits I run into.

Yeah, you can do Subtasks, absolutely.

My issue is that it only shows the Subtask start dates on a calendar, or if you click on one of them.

In general we shift our focus from "Hyper-V and VMware" to "VMware and KVM". Reason: Hyper-V doesn't grow anymore and KVM has very high chances to supersede it. VMware... There's just more money there 🙂

Could you expand on your statement about Hyper-V not growing? Thanks

% between VMware, ESXi and KVM for acquired number of customers doesn't look good for Microsoft.

That is interesting. Do you think (or anyone here) that it is because of Microsoft focusing and moving more clients on Azure?

Apples and Oranges

Cloud Hosting is different from on prem. Even if you want to look at cloud hosting, AWS is slaughtering Azure.

So I got the "opportunity" today to play some more with IMAP and PST files. Basically they don't play nicely. In addition Outlook (at least 2016) applies a display filter that hides any emails that have been removed from the IMAP server. This means that those folders that look empty probably aren't. You need to remove the filter on the folders from the folder view settings to be able to see them. Not sure why this is the default, but it does.

FreePBX's jail.local doesn't use that syntax.

Hello.
I tried rdp connection to the server by entering the ip address with relative port (192.168.1.66:1512) and it worked. I do not understand why the problem occurred with the installation of the latest Windows 10 release (April 2018).
thank you. regards.

Looks like I will not be using any Ubuntu based systems if I can help it... I'm liking Debian 9 rather well right now.

Plus MD1000 are for older SANs...

eh? It's just extending the internal storage... externally, hence "DAS". It has tons of use cases.

It does, but they MD1000s were mainly setup for SAN devices in mind. Yeah they can also be attached to servers as well which is not bad either. Just not my preference, nothing wrong with that.

Not sure what you mean, a DAS is a DAS... MD1000, MD3000, MD1200, MD1400... whatever. They are simply (as what Dell calls them, @scottalanmiller , not me) "Server JBOD Expansions". They aren't specific to SAN use and are not SANs.

Okay, I am not trying to go in a tangent and go in argument with you. Why does it need to be this way?
Reason for me saying that mainly Dell uses it for SANs see below:
https://www.dell.com/en-us/work/shop/povw/powervault-md1000

You still can use them for servers for user.

No arguing or disagreeing... I'm just not understanding where you're getting "SAN" from?

That is awesome, I will need to try it for a Quickbooks user with the same issue here.

@net-runner said in Guacamole on Fedora 27:

I've tried Guacamole on CentOS and Debian. Both worked fine, but it was a bare-metal install (not docker). Check Guacamole and Tomcat logs to identify if they are running at all and try to see your connection attempts there. If there is nothing it has to be firewall/connectivity issue.

The Docker instructions don't seem to work, which seems to be my experience with all Docker instructions. Sounds like it'll be easy, but never "just works" and takes more complicated fiddling than just doing traditional installs.

How much storage did it come out to? I agree, at this small of a load, a web instance might make the most sense. Or a VM somewhere on your existing infrastructure.

It's just thin provisioning, with all the benefits and pitfalls of any other type of thin provisioning. Why it would be required, I don't know.

I would love for Veeam to natively integrate with KVM at the hypervisor level. I know that Amazon is using them now and a lot of people on ML use KVM.

@stacksofplates said in Agent and Agentless Backups:

As much as I like to argue with @scottalanmiller I have to agree that usually agents are easier.

Because the agent based backup meant that to recover the entire guest, I would have to mount a special ISO, it wasn't nearly as straightforward as "restore this backup from 15 minutes ago to Host 2".

That is in no way a requirement of agent based systems. This sounds more like there isn't a reliable way to reproduce a system and the data isn't on a separate volume. Make sure the systems can be rebuilt immediately and you can just reattach the data and be done.

Even with something as simple as ReaR, you define your skeleton volumes you want backed up and include that in your template.

Example (I'll use Ansible since that's what I know):

The template would have this in it:

BACKUP_PROG_INCLUDE=('{{ backup_dirs | join("' '") }}')

You'd have a list (in this case called backup_dirs) that gets iterated over:

backup_dirs: - /home/* - /data/* - /var/www/html/*

That backup_dirs list is specific to each machine when it's created.

The agent based stuff is really simple because it can very easily be specific for each machine and always be specific when the systems are built without any work after the initial set up.

Just because a system is backed up via agentless backup doesn't mean the VMs data can't be separate. I could have a VM backed up agentlessly that has its data on a separate volume / virtual disk... then I could instantly restore the VM and OS, reattach the data, and not have to rebuild shit.

That's not why I said that. If you have to fully restore a system from an ISO the agent built, then it doesn't sound like the data was separate.

No I meant you would boot to a recovery/boot ISO so you can restore the server from within the recovery encironment

You're missing what I'm saying. If the data volume is separate you just attach it to a fresh VM and don't have to do that at all. The only time you need to rebuild from that recovery environment is when either the data isn't separate or you can't reliably reproduce the OS volume.

@bbigford Do not know anyone in that industry out there.
