With Starwind's coming Linux release (or has it already been released?)... Would this not be done in a Linux VM? That would eliminate concerns about licensing and such.

StarWind Linux VSA is released

There's no problem to install anything like us into parent partition, question was is it OK to use it as a file server with a free version of Windows

Doing a bit of reverse name matching... I may have it now.

@RamblingBiped said in KVM Installation and VM Creation on Fedora 25:

I did an article about a year ago about setting up KVM/QEMU on Ubuntu 16.04, it might be of some use: https://www.ramblingbiped.com/build-a-kvm-qemu-hypervisor-on-ubuntu-16-04-server/

I also wrote a short blurb on automating VM creation using a pre-built VM template, virt-clone, and virt-sysprep: https://www.ramblingbiped.com/build-a-kvm-qemu-hypervisor-on-ubuntu-16-04-server/

That is very helpful. Thank you.

New NIC fixed the issue.

So to sum up ... one of the XS7 updates hosed the NIC on my XS, but only with Linix VMs. Windows VMs worked fine.

A new NIC (with the Linux VMs using only that NIC) fixed the issue.

Please don't reference bad links.

@dbeato I have thought a lot about nextcloud. They didnt seem to have any support plans for the ~10 to 15 user size companies so I was hesitant to go with it.

Or, you could ask certain people in the community that promote it all the time to see what they offer.

This entire discussion was stupid. There is never need to worry about a "best drive" for 99% of users. You buy what ever is cheap and available. Even more so because you have clearly stated this is a short term solution.

Hear ye, the word of the lord. And rejoice, because it has been given unto you.

You dare blaspheme the name of Jared!!?!?! Burn!!!

Say what you want, but th time you spent looking for drives, and then purchasing a drive that is probably double the cost of what you could have gotten, means money wasted.

Don't sweat it. I did one Google search, posted a thread on here, then looked at Amazon's popular stuff.
10 minute decision.

With T56 series here the 48s dropped down to $170 range, everything else has gotten even cheaper.

The t56a is the cost that Yealink 48s was a month ago, and it is android. About $199.

I got Ubiquiti phones in to test and have updated them a couple times. At last pass they still couldn't park or use BLF reliably.

I can't imagine leaving Yealink.

Thank you, the reboot did work on this one.

Will try a few lock cycles just to confirm.

Also because you already use MD. 🙂

You know what, I can even move the two disks to my new workstation and not have to transfer any data.

I think the answer may have been found... 😄

Actually even better, I can break the RAID 1 on my current box and convert it to non-RAID, then move one of the disks to my new workstation and convert it back to RAID 1. If done right, I think I can do it all without any data loss too.

I'd prefer to just move the two disks and not have to transfer any data... but that's just me.

Yeah. I'll need to copy my home directory to the SSD in my current box before doing that though. That might be easier than breaking/re-creating the RAID. I'm not quite ready to "switch" yet. Hmm...

@WLS-ITGuy said in MySQL/PHP issue.:

@marcinozga

Yes. If I CD to /var/www/moodle/ and run 'php admin/cli/mysql_compressed_rows.php --list' I get PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 262144 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 49152 bytes) in var/www/moodle/admin/cli/mysql_compressed_rows.php on line 152

Run that same php info.php file from the CLI... and search for the php.ini file that way...

php info.php|grep -i "php.ini"

And see what file(s) it spits out.

Edit: Dang... Day late, $1 short.

I really wonder what a broadcast domain looks like Pertino/Zero Tier/Himachi?

Depends on what kind of broadcasts. If you mean Ethernet broadcasts, which is what most people mean (the ones that are limited by VLANs) then these VPNs don't affect them at all.

So an ethernet broadcast storm could bring it down?

Ethernet broadcast storm can take down anything that is using Ethernet. What you are doing on top of Ethernet is irrelevant. But what do YOU mean by "bring it down?"

@beta said in SW Port - New Server for virtual host - Sanity Check:

Oh, one thing I was really curious about too, would it make sense to get an extra drive as a hot spare? Normally with OBR10 and spinning HDD, I'd put every spindle into the array, but since SSDs are going to give me plenty of IOPS and capacity, I didn't know if it is a good/bad idea with OBR5.

The rule of "no hot spare ever" for RAID 5 still applies. If you were going to do this, you would do OBR 6. OBR6 can make loads of sense here, but OBR5 + HS does not.

But it is up to you, depends on cost and risk aversion.

What is the "cleanest" method available so vm's can "talk" to the host?

I ended up just staying on macvtap. I never did any further troubleshooting.

I only use this Windows 10 VM for occasional power email sessions in Outlook when organizing 5 accounts worth of email. Usually once a week.

You'll get better performance if you install the VirtIO drivers and use that instead of rtl8139. Whether you will notice it or not for that VM, idk.

Here is the more in-depth explanation of the issue.
