@joel said in HyperVServer Build:

Next I want to create a new VM - My Domain Controller.

First, I want to change Hyper-V settings so my VM's go into D:\

1. How do I partition the D drive on my host - when i formatted windows I created one partition for (80GB) and left 1.9TB spare (which I want to be my D drive) - How do I bring the D drive online on the host and have it accessible?

Thanks

If you have RSAT installed, you can use Server Manager > File and Storage Services to manage your disks or use Disk Management.

@joel said in HyperVServer Build:

This server build is frustrating...I managed to get the HyperV server installed and able to connect to it via Hyper-V Manager. However when trying to boot the Guest VM via my CDRom (WindowsServer2016)m it tells me the BIOS was locked and the OS was tied to vendor. Note: I was using the original CD that I got shipped with the server!!!

I then tried burning an ISO (generic) to USB but was unable to mount and boot from it as the HyperV Manager couldnt see the USB plugged into the Host! I read about making it 'offline' first but when attempting that, it turns out i couldnt make removable media offline!!

This thing is a nightmare!
Thinking of packing in Hyper-V!

Copy the iso to the server instead.

I've recently come across Restic and looks great:

I haven't tried it yet, but it's on my list to try on my KVM server using Google's cloud as a test.

I’ve only tested it with backing up nextcloud user data and it’s been working great so far.

What are you backing up to?

I only tried an external hard drive and sftp to a Linux Server. I would like to try Backblaze.

Double Impact on Amazon

Try booting into text mode instead.

That's right, New York State says that Charter didn't live up to its requirements when it purchased Time Warner in NY to form Spectrum and they have given the cable giant sixty days to liquidate its TWC assets and be out of NY for good.

Haha. Eviction notice.

@momurda said in Nextcloud: An exception occurred while executing 'INSERT INTO `oc_file_locks`:

@black3dynamite Dunno its the screen at the end similar to other distros where you can choose to install different desktops, ssh, cups, etc. Nextcloud is a choice now in ubuntu

Just confirm it. Nextcloud is installed via snap. The rest apps like PowerShell is from using snap.

All the professional reviews of it that I have read have been very critical. I always take those with a grain of salt, so I'm curious what you think.

I haven’t read any review but so far I like episode 3.

Reading about zswap.
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/vm/zswap.html

It's enabled by default on Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS and its not enabled by default on Fedora 30.

Edit: Yep, I definitely shouldn't be doing this while half asleep. So I tried it again with a clean install and its not enabled by default on Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS so my bad.
