      And another micro SD card (in a RPi3) is going the way of all mortal beings... :cross:

      Began with some cryptic error from dpkg which turned out to be a filesystem warning (structure needs cleaning), did an fsck and now the card is dead. Still booting up to some point until it starts to complain about bad ELF headers 😉

      SD cards for operating systems are such a bad idea... I'm thinking about just using cheap SD cards in the future which will hold /boot, everything else will be on a USB thumb drive. Or I will use another platform in the future, Banana Pi for example is a far superior platform overall: SATA, NIC not attached via USB 2, WiFi onboard...

      SD cards are generally fine or even great of OSes. But you can't be writing to them, especially for logging. If you make sure that you are using an OS designed for this kind of use (a Live one) or you modify one for this use, they are very reliable.

      Sure, they are fine for readonly access. I think I will build something myself, unionfs based maybe (or some successor).

      Yup, which is how things being installed to them should be. Same as running off of a LiveCD or LiveDVD which are not even writeable.

      But he was trying to install XenServer... Isn't that one of the Hypervisors that everybody has been telling us should be run from an SD card? ... I wonder if it could be an issue with XS7?

      Yes BUT requires that you modify it so as not to write locally. You can't skip that part.

      I was under the impression that XS takes that into account when installing to SD, etc.

      Nope

      So the question is @scottalanmiller when are we going to see a guide on how to easily redirect all logging to a remote location?

        Well the lab came online last night, so these things are much more possible now.

          Isn't Xen running on top of some Linux kernel? Something like rsyslog should do the job just fine in this case.

            The LOGGING of XenServer is running on CentOS, Xen itself runs right on the bare metal.

              In theory someone tried the syslog redirection and it failed.

                Someone, someone.

                I'd love to get some more info on this. It's been bugging me for some time now.

                Can we start a thread for it?

                            Yes, it was a scary story. If I remember correctly including some police officers harassing him or something like that.

                                    Scrolling through my games and some online stores like Steam and GOG and don't know what to play.

                                    Maybe C&C Generals Zero Hour once again?

                                        Story of my gaming life... scrolling through games not knowing what to play.

                                        yepp...

                                        Or maybe something like Wing Commander Privateer or Freelancer. Both are great games. Is there something comparable?

                                          Some days I leave ML feeling like I contributed and learned.

                                          Today is not one of those days!

                                            Why not? You learned something about Linux and its flavors today.
