Nah, you mix the first two, and pour out half into another cup. Then you pour in half whiskey into the now half full cup.

Working from home today, anxiety playing up so couldn't drive this morning...so chilling with loud rock music and smashing through tickets!

Did I read this right.... he bought 600TB of storage to build a SAN, with only 6GB of RAM for all of it, and didn't even know how he was going to use it before buying it? Now this is what being rich looks like.
https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/1965085-recommended-os-distro-for-fc-target-storage
Latter on it is cleared up that he is looking to add 96TB into an existing 500TB of SANs (3 current ones), we don't know what the existing storage is running on.
Except he needs to know what OS to run the whole thing on. What?

Think I will be sticking to PG tips or Yorkshire Tea

Sitting at untamedauto.com waiting for a routine oil change. Owner is Japanese and pretty much every Japanese family in Schaumburg takes their car here for service.

One of my DCs just died. Noticed that the hard drive was nearly full (probably about time to replace SCOM with Icinga). Told the VM to shut down, took it nearly an hour. Added another 40GB to the VMs VHD, started it and bang: Bluescreen, disk full. The VM went into a reboot loop afterward, ending up either in the recovery console or another blue screen.
Well, couldn't expand the filesystem this way, so I grabbed a gparted ISO and the DC was online again just 5 minutes later.

Just found out my cable company doubled my DL speed from 15 to 30, and increased my UL speed from 2 to 3. Same price. Woo woo!

Are you running a 2003 DC? You can expand disks on 2008 and 2012 without a shutdown.

Windows recovery tools couldn't expand the disk?

Just went for a long walk up the hill looking for an open store. Nope.

This earns a FFS...

What about down the other side.

Probably, but I'm way more familiar with Linux (Scott: I'm abusing the term Linux here ;)) recovery (read: partition and filesystem management) tools than I am with Windows tools.

2008 R2 at the moment (2003 is EOL, you shouldn't even think about running it in 2017).
Yes, you can expand filesystems during runtime (that's what I am doing in most cases), but you can't expand an underlying Hyper-V Gen 1 VHD while the VM is powered on.
