I love my Pandora shuffle... sometimes it goes from Pink Floyd to Meshuggah to Eek-A-Mouse, and that makes me smile.

That's my feeling, for deploying your own hypervisor I'd say that Xen has so much attention and mind share here that it is almost a problem, we've become a Xen proxy support community making it a bit unwelcoming to people on other platforms. Not that I would like to see fewer Xen posts, but I'd like to see more non-Xen posts, you know?
I'd actually like to see some of those XS experts from their forum pop over here. To tidy up all the little things we can't figure out on our own.

If performance is your guide, KVM has the best Windows performance. And Xen has the best Linux performance.
If ease of use is your guide, many of us find XenServer to be the easiest to learn (after VMware which is mostly only easy by not having any features.) Hyper-V is confusing enough that many people can get XS installed and working before they can even figure out what Hyper-V is
But people used to the MS ecosystem thoroughly sometimes find it easier to use because they are already using many of the Windows remote management tools, but tons of Windows Admins don't do that making Hyper-V rather confusing again.If features is your guide, XenServer and Hyper-V top the list for sure. Massive feature sets, all for free. KVM comes it right behind them. VMware isn't in the game there, unless you have insanely deep pockets.

It's amazing how much music is out there, and how online music has opened my eyes to it.

Are there really XS questions, or just general questions that are being run into when using XS?

No Pandora in Germany....

Really? That's lame. What other streaming music services are available over there?

I have a streamtome setup on my home server...
Otherwise spotify and amazon seem to be ok. Pandora just seems to be the better platform.

What is the difference between those two?
Under which category would you classify the question:
"Can you store other data in a SR?" -

I haven't played with Spotify much, but the shuffle feature on Amazon leaves much to be desired. I wish I had my music collection organized enough to set up something to stream it.

I feel like I'm drowning in CVEs. It seems like there are a plethora of new ones announced every day.

"Can you store other data in a SR?"That's definitely an XS question. But cloning the boot device, is not.
It might be that no one knows about storing other data in the SR because it's not a good practice regardless. Sometimes experts know the least about fringe cases because they simply know to avoid them

Yeah I would bet single hosts with one storage array are a pretty fringe case.
They look at my questions, chuckle, and move on.
Like a lot of my posts here!

No, it's only making one volume on the single storage array that is uncommon. Putting additional items into the SR is what is niche.

I mean that most installations are probably larger.
As to the volume, XS does that on it's own. If I was doing this again, I'd probably skip making the SR at installation, and then do it myself.

I would personally doubt that to be true. Maybe most installations on a computer by computer bases are at larger shops (meaning a single shop with 101 XS servers counts as more than 100 companies each with 1 XS install) but by organizational deployments, I bet that single servers are the most common.

But you could resize it.

It's been a lousy morning...ugh. I need today to be over...

Boil Water advisory issued for my town. Had a break in a 36" main overnight. Could be 3-4 days before the order is lifted.
