@scottalanmiller So a "friend" of mine is planning on moving his storage from his server to a Synology DS2415+. He plans on keeping one drive on his server for the OS (Server 2008 with Hyper-V installed as a role), and just store the VHDs for the VMs on the Synology.
His question is about the Synology. He has a box of 4 TB SATA hard drives and wants to know how good RAID 5 will work. He's heard of RAID 10 and likes the bigger number (10 vs 5), but when he uses a raid calculator he loses around 16 TB of storage using RAID 10. What should I tell him? Oh, and he also wants to use iSCSI; however, the Synology is in another building. Can he do this?

@wirestyle22 Now I'll wait for my permaban from Mangolassi.

I think you're going have to try harder by telling him that he doesn't know what he is doing. Taking notes from Curtis and the others on SW.

Liesl lit her first Roman candle tonight.
Just sparklers for mine this year. He's wasn't a big fan of Fireworks until the display last night. Seems a lot has changed in a year, lol.
I'm still not a fan of fireworks.

Meeting with execs today to see if they officially say "yes, we want to lower phone system costs by 50%."
That's a sad question to have to ask.

I received a phone call today from a city worker asking me to teach him how to use the system. When I asked him what he is attempting to use he said "The computer". He does not know how to use a computer. This is required knowledge for any city employee--of course the level of knowledge does vary.
You guys ever need to teach a user from the ground up? Seems like they should be paying for training for this dude.
I taught K12 in a private school that had never seen computers when I put them in. So teachers, administration AND students all with zero computer experience.

Bah! Vultr is still sold out of storage instances.
They've gotten crazy popular.

DigitalOcean has them also.
Not on my console they don't. I've not seen an announcement and I don't see where to buy any.

I thought they were removing their storage instances? Didn't someone bring that up here before or am I misremembering?
That was @BRRABill saying that as his interpretation of them selling out due to popularity. He asked some random tech through a channel that Vultr says they don't have who said that they might be discontinuing them. When ask, Vultr said they had no employee with that name, that they had no support channel like the one described and said that the items were super popular and not likely to go anywhere. So most likely he reached out to the wrong vendor or something

And? Vultr has that too, but it's not what we are talking about. We are talking about storage instances, not tack on storage.

What's the difference? The storage instances lock you into a specific instance. If you're building on Fedora you have to upgrade every release vs just unattach and reattach your volume.
