Why not just setup a Rocket Chat VM and test it out between the IT department. It doesn't take that long to get setup.

Especially as I have it all scripted 🙂

I know I'm dragging a topic up from the past, but here is a topic where a business has made a purchase with the goal of Shoe horning 16tb (4x4TB) HDD's into ProLiant MicroServer G7 Server.

Wasted money, with clearly no concept of what is an appropriate way of setting something like this up.

@Dashrender Rebuilding.

Something went totally sideways on it. Good thing it was a test system and not my production unit.

Scott, you mentioned that this is all at the kernel level - could you roll your own version of this?

Sure, you'd have to write your own storage layer, though. So it's not trivial in any way.

OH.. that's where I was confused I guess... I thought the storage layer was part of KVM (that's the hypervisor they use, right?)

Not part of KVM itself. The Scale HC3 is unique, there is no software version available on the market.

So they wrote the storage layer? Cool - good to know/understand that.

Yes, Scale is primarily a storage vendor. Before they made their Hyperconverged product, they made scale out storage only. That was before KVM was mature enough to make the HC3 product. They no longer sell the storage layer, it is now developed purely and designed solely around the needs of the HC3 product so is completely unique to that. It's the storage layer and the storage integration (and support) that are their selling points. That's what makes them special and unique. KVM and the hardware on its own you could do yourself and you could easily make due with a different interface.

I did an "In My Area" search and all that came up where Time Warner at no more than 5Mb/s and FiOS DLS at less than 1Mb/s. 😞

Utica and Rome I know have Verizon DSL and TWC but I don't think they have FiOS. It's a poorer demographic, sadly...

It's sad because other than that one issue, Utica has some amazing downtown office space.

I know you found your solution, but just wanted to say I have not experienced any default apps resetting.

I'm slowly going insane...

It hit me pretty much all at once in February 1999.

All at once? Eesh, I'm sorry. What happened? Just a spring that needed to decompress all at once?

That's when I joined NTG.

After upload a picture to GRavartar... how long before it take effect on ML?

if the email matches and the pic is set to G on Gravatar, normally under 20 minutes, sometimes almost instantly.

No issues in almost a week. I will probably drop the heap size back to 1g and see if it remains stable.

Not sure if being helpful for future people or didn't read OP...

Yes, that's what I eventually found.

How did this project go?

That would be awesome. Cygwin is such a kludgy arse pain.

Thank you all for the valuable details, was never considered before, i will work on the backup concept including replication to another site, Kind regards.

The purpose of RDX is to make a mechanism that is robust for being inserted and removed often, USB is a bit fragile there. And to make the actual drive more robust for transport. External USB drives are not good for bouncing around in an Iron Mountain truck.

Yeah they are nice to throw in your bag or whatever.

You definitely pay a price for that, though/

Hence the use of foo and bar.

All of my upvotes.

I would change it to read: "Here is why you buy good quality aftermarket or proper OEM parts"

So what is bottle necking? CPU? RAM? Disk IO?

This is kind of embarrassing, but I am not sure how to check on Linux.

IIRC - try running 'top'

top is very hard for a newbie to Linux to read and very hard to share with people if they are not sitting at the console, though.

As a linux newbie I liked it lol - to each their own I suppose.

I didn't say that you would not like it... but do you know how to read the load numbers and the memory figures from it, for example? The output is not intuitive.

The performance of the Pi doesn't matter, but the complexity does.

That simply is not a viable option in my opinion.

The second half of my previous post has nothing to do with a Pi. that would be option 3. And I agree, it's probably not with the hassle/complexity of bothering.
