@scottalanmiller I know, right.

Looks like their packages are bad at this point. You definitely have the right, matching architecture there. Seems that they are having a lot of problems these days. It's such a niche product, I'd be super wary of every using it in production or any software the depends on it. Using it as an option, sure, but requiring it I'd consider a non-starter. Absolutely no one supports it.

@scottalanmiller said in RAID rebuild times 16TB drive:

Its a system, not an IO, bottleneck typically. Especially with RAID 6. Its math that runs on a single thread.

Distributed storage systems with per object raid FTW here. If I have every VMDK running it's own rebuild process (vSAN) or every individual LUN/CPG (how Compellent or 3PAR do it) then a given drive failing is a giant party across all of the drives in the cluster/system. (Also how the fancy erasure code array systems run this).

Yeah, that's RAIN and that basically solves everything 🙂

Pretty cool. I’ll have to try it and see how it goes.

I’ve been using Unbound for several years running on a Raspberry Pi and using a custom black list. Love not having to run ad blockers on each computer browser since it’s all taken care of with Unbound.

@travisdh1 just in case you got that email too.

Started a new job last Monday, so nope. Happy, happy, happy!

Congrats!!

This is not an Asterisk error, so much as a FreePBX error.
More information needed.

A new high power bill... 😉

If you install using the above method, it never tells you the random password assigned to your management interface. But no fear, there is a tool that sets that for you and is super, duper easy.

cd /usr/local/lsws/admin/misc sh admpass.sh

It is interactive. And voila.

@Pete-S said in RAID - Two Arrays for Server? Array 1 for Windows Host and Array 2 for VMs and Data?:

This is what we do.

Option 3.
Hypervisor on satadom or small SSD drive.
Performance storage array with SSDs. Raid 1 or 10.
Capacity storage array with 3.5" HDDs. Raid 1 or 10.

Each VMs gets the kind of storage it needs. RAID1 is default for the arrays. RAID10 is only used when the capacity is needed (always as few drives as possible).

Right now I'm prepping a RAID 1 array 2x16TB that will go into one of our hosts.

md4 : active raid1 sdm[1] sdl[0] 15625748288 blocks super 1.2 [2/2] [UU] [>....................] resync = 0.6% (99811008/15625748288) finish=1322.2min speed=195699K/sec

We'll see how long it takes. Supposedly around 23 hours.

Same here.

So you've moved to SSD with RAID 1 or RAID 10, no more RAID 5?

Works on Debian 10.

Enough to sting but not crippling to us or the vendor involved.

Thankfully!

@Dashrender said in Window server standard edition on Hyper V- means two Wins VMs ?:

the cost of SSD is still massive compared to that of HDD MB for MB

not that bad, mostly just people buying what they are used to, it seems.

Thanks for adding more technical content!
