And we have a dead drive in our RAID 5 Buffalo Terastation.... (4 x1TB) oh yah...

@scottalanmiller what are the odds buddy?

So in this article the author describes what he feels to be a rather poor approach by pretty much all current IT personal in the world, excluding Containerization Experts.

Do you folks agree with what the author is saying?

@penguinwrangler Here is a more complete list.

@Dashrender Mushkin is a drive maker, Synology only makes enclosures.

Eaton folks,

I'm looking to get to a near "High Availability" setup with my hypervisors switches etc, but powering this gets really expensive with UPS's etc.

What would be a cost effective solution to provide redundant power in the event of an power outage for my facility so we could effectively run for 4 hours on "Backup Power"?

Servers, desktops, switches, and Routers.

Thanks!

Barcelona to ditch Microsoft in favour of open source software:

Here I thought that OpenXchange had stopped development since Zentyal removed it from their release.

It might just be the offering for the community edition, service patch support etc.

Still looks to be a viable system.

@dafyre well of course not, they were cooked.

Only raw food twitches and "walks"

We rarely if ever disable a computer account, we just disable the user and reboot.

In event where a system is for some reason disjoined from the domain, we sign in locally and rejoin it. (WORKGROUP reboot/ Domain Reboot)

I've seen this happen due to time sync issues, long periods of time disconnected from the work network to name a few.

As for from 1 day to the next, I'd be thinking DNS or Time Sync issues... Is the system clock right on your DC and this machine?

People are actively resigning from positions due to the amount of insanity that is taking place.

You break into my house and I catch you, you're dead.

I fixed that for you.

For anyone else who might need to know how to do this on Fedora 22.

First, take a backup of your VM, it never hurts. And now I've warned you.

Install the Fedora CD into your VM Disk drive, boot from CD.

Select Troubleshooting
Rescue a Fedora System

At the console confirm your filesystem path. Mine is at /dev/mapper/fedora-root

Changing 10G to whatever file size you need. To decrease use a -#G.

lvm lvresize --verbose --resizefs -L 10G /dev/mapper/vgname-lvname

Let it complete, should only take a bit.

reboot

There you have it, your Fedora Root Partition should now be expanded to whatever size you need.

@mattspeller I used that one as my last April Fools joke.

No one got it. . . . and was all worried. . .

This is only news because that family of the thug, thought they were always entitled to whatever they could get their hands on, even if they stole from others, because some how everyone has harmed them.

FTFY - both

So I have RAM over allocated and the Xen Tools installed to my VM's but am still getting alerts for "Over Allocated RAM".

How can I have the alert, but only when I exceed something like 120% of the server memory?

As it is in Citrix XenCenter the Alert configuration is listed in MB, not a percentage of memory.

Thanks

I've heard too many people say they would just shoot the person in the knee. That won't fly.

Why not?

Often because people can't aim for s**t

So NAGIOS (community edition only) or Incinga

Just curious which you'd prefer to use.
