@ChrisL said in Internal Storage is always better.:
We just published a blog this morning on RAID arrays, fault tolerance, etc. For someone that isn't well versed in the data storage aspect, I thought it was a nice little insight into how it works.
Your link is broken (check the lowercase L in front of http, known bug)

RE: The Other Side is not dumbposted in Water Closet
As one parent proudly told me, she would rather he son be a homeless, jobless college graduate than a rich, happy, successful non-college graduate. Actually said that.
Now this is... odd.
As with many things, the situation is a bit different here. One of our most urgent problems is over-education. Craftsman can earn similar to or even more than graduated here. 100 EUR per hour for an electrician? Possible. But more and more young people graduate instead of learning a well paid job like the above.

I kid you not, this is how the day of posting is going. Never saw what the OP's real goal is. But... what?
That's... interesting. Somehow. I've seen things before, like a guy who created a ZFS pool on 20-something USB thumbdrives to demonstrate ZFS failure handling when unplugging a member, but a production array with 4 PB on USB3? Probably not a good idea.
Why not getting a few cheap SAS enclosures, toploaders with 40+ disks for example? Backup and RAID are both big issues with so large arrays, hope that guy keeps that in kind.
Physical dimensions?

vs IKEA book shelve(s)?

@tonyshowoff Great story, and it's basically the same I'm telling trainees on day one: observe, follow the path (OSI etc.), act later.
Thanks for sharing.

RE: GNU Root in Androidposted in IT Discussion
Sounds like he is trying to install a Debian based phone distribution. Maybe something like https://www.ubuntu.com/phone?
As said before, you should share the guides you are following.
BTW: ML is a great community and somewhat Linux centric, but my first stop would be xda-developer for questions and guides in this case.

@thwr This is the link i have checked for the installation but no luck
https://fossbytes.com/how-to-install-a-linux-on-android-phone-without-rooting/Just quick scanned the article: you are not installing Linux, but a package manager and a toolchain from a Debian / Gentoo based distro.
Not sure what you want to accomplish by taking this route.

RE: storvsp.sys - Hyper V questionposted in IT Discussion
storvsp.sys seems to be related to the integration services. When you google it, you'll find multiple threads where people had problems with integration services, so I would be very carefully.
Probably better to just nuke the drive and reinstall the maschine. Could also be a false positive.

It definitely seems like reports from a little while ago that things calming down turn out to be probably very wrong and that this may be the start of a minor civil war, depending on how much support Erdagon can muster, and/or if he can split up the military.
It seems to be the Military vs Police somehow - very confusing!
It's just wild guessing right now. Problem is, Erdogan placed lots of people into key positions at the police.T he german reporter just said that he heard that the whole military is supporting the coup - if so, the police wouldn't have any chance.
Certainly true, if all branches of the armed forces are behind it, it's over.
Tanks and fighter jets at least. This is not just one or two rogue commanders I guess.

Pretty sure that the
buildmodule: Could not found the body of interfaced routineWould be an issue.... but I don't know. I think this is the third time compiling...
Sounds like a missing lib. E.g. someone includes a header and calls a function from the lib behind. How to explain... it's like
#include "bla.h" int main() { blaFunc(); // <-- not found return 0; } -
RE: Running XenServer from a USB Driveposted in IT Discussion
@Ajin said in Running Xen Server from a USB Drive.:
@scottalanmiller : Now something interesting happened, The USB stick got corrupted after multiple testing with the os installation.Getting a new one now

Common problem with removable flash storage like SD-Cards or USB thumb drives. They often do not feature wear leveling like a modern SSD. The SD card spec does not say a single word about wear leveling for example.
What @scottalanmiller is referring to is that you need some in-depth knowledge about partitioning, filesystems and overall Linux / Unix to create something solid. You would need to redirect logs (rsyslog for example), lock and pid files (ramdisk), /tmp (ramdisk) and a lot more to create a read-only solution that does not kill your flash with little writes. Best would be to implement something like unionfs or squashfs (AFAIK deprecated and replaced by unionfs) where you have a virtual layer between your storage and every write operation. Such a write operation could be mapped to a ramdisk at the filesystem level with unionfs for example.
But even with such a solution, you need to work around some problems. How would you change your configuration for example on a filesystem that is virtually read-only?
