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.

Oh man that sucks.

I have bottled water from the Erie County Municipal supply here, for some odd reason.

Its not so bad for us we always have a case of bottled water around. Sh'es boiling up some and storing it right now. Worst case her mom's 20 min away and not affected so we can get water there
-
I personally would rather boil water than to have to buy bottled water from the store.
The water out of the bottles is often just as bad, granted not sewage bad, but still just bad.

And you don't think THAT will blow it up? At this point, I am nervous to touch it, haha.
This is the progression of steps I plan to take...
- Set up another XS with all spinning rust disks. (DONE)
- Let it run for a few days to ensure it doesn't crash. (DONE)
- Symlink /var/log on the system, and see if it crashes the new system
- If it crashes, then try resizing the SR on a new test system to ensure no craziness happens.

But convenient!

No, why would it? I think your concern here is backwards. Avoiding the correct way to do something because you think that it might break, but I have no idea why. While making a slightly risky change with a very clear reason that it might break something.

I just don't believe that 212F will kill sewage. I'll take the bottled spring water.

Bottled spring water for myself as well please

I prefer purified water. I've seen springs run through manure patches. Spring is just another term for ground water.

Testing out Comodo ONE helpdesk system. Seems decent on first glance. Will be playing with it for a few days to see how reports go etc.

I think that a thread of screenshots is in order! Many of us have never seen it at all.

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.
I'm only exposed to a certain percentage of the overall posts. I guess I just saw a lot of love for Hyper-V /shrug
Guess I'm installing XenServer
