@MichaelHampton If you were going to rebuild a database server from EL5 to EL6 for some company tonight, and had to choose a filesystem for the MySQL drives, what would your choice be?
so I'll just spin up a VM, I mainly need to get my head around btrfs snapshots. Which in turn interests me cause I want to set up bridging on fedora for KVM
IT upgraded git server from 1.7.xxx to 1.8.xxx and it broke. Of course, they did it after hours the day the one guy who really knows how that server works is out of town.
Philosophical question that is definitely off-topic on the site: Are people in favor of a bunch of smaller, single-purpose instances in ZE CLOUD or beefier "all-in-one" instances?
Whoah, Windows Server 10 has removed all the stupid tiles/metro from the start menu. ABOUT FUCKING TIME. A server OS should not have a touch interface. At all.
This is the second in a multi-part series where I explore the process of transforming an existing Graylog install into a resilient and scalable multi-site installation. Start here for Part 1. Server Setup At this point we have about 6 months of data in our existing Graylog2 system so I wanted the entire migration to happen without data loss and to be as seamless as possible. For the new e…
I have a QNAP TS-412. It has 4x 4TB WD Red drives in RAID10.
The poor thing works pretty hard. Virtually 24/7 it runs at 20-30MB/sec as a backup device from a bunch of office computers and a handful of servers.
In the last 2 weeks, seemingly out of nowhere, it has been rebooting every 16 hours ...
Welcome to QNAP's world. You're just a maggot filled boil on its useless amputation stump from a horrible concrete saw accident involving spiced rum and naked cousins.
I accidentally applied chmod 700 to the whole filesystem instead of the current directory. Non-root users now cannot run any command even though I've 777'd paths in $PATH and restarted sshd just after . I don't have a replacement Linux to copy permissions from. Is there a way out? Anybody has a c...
Would it be bad to just comment with LOLU+200BU+200BU+200BU+200BU+200BU+200BU+200BU+200BU+200BU+200BU+200BU+200BU+200BU+200BU+200BU+200BU+200BU+200BU+200B?
Without a source machine to copy permissions from, wether programmatically or by hand (yeah, right), you are up the virtual creek without a paddle. The best you can do is hope for a tar backup that you took and forgot about to recreate permissions from. Even copying permissions from a proper sour...
I do love it when I google for the answer to something and the top result is my own work on here - still freaks me out, but also shows how shit my memory is these days :)
What's to be done about this guy serverfault.com/users/246421/teddy 3 questions about websphere in <30 minutes demonstrating that he's $clueless and needs education and not Q&A
So here is how our situation looks like. We are hosting several OpenCart Webshops (7) on 1 server.
The problem is, when the rush hour hits, all webshops become slow. Currently I'm using a pretty dumb solution which gives a satisfying effect. All heavy databases and files are hosted on another se...
@Chopper3 strictly speaking, the question is soliciting debate and / or arguments, which is quite the description of the "not constructive" close reason. But as I always found that the entire question closure procedure is a rat shit minefield, I'd be least likely to vote for closure here.
When installing Linux VMs in a virtualized environment (ESXi in my case), are there any compelling reasons to partition the disks (when using ext4) rather than just adding separate disks for each mount point?
The only one I can see is that it makes it somewhat easier to see if there's data pres...
NEW! Zenview Atlas 27 Ultrathin Eight-screen monitor with large 27" premium screens · larger text size, easy on the eyes · ultra-narrow monitor bezel: only 0.31" (0.8cm) border per screen · FHD 1080p resolution per screen, 178°/178° viewing angles
@MichelZ what are you doing with all the screen real estate, though? It must take a whole morning to even read through the initial display of information.
@the-wabbit I wasn't consulted, I don't know what the issues were that make some Scottish people want to become a separate country. The worst that would have happened from my POV was that the Tories would be hard to get out of power as Labour rely on Scotts MPs
@Iain these things often have economic and social repercussions, don't they? It likely would have been worse for the Scottish, but the rest of Great Britain would have gotten a good shaking, too.
@the-wabbit Yes but it really wasn't a big discussion topic outside of Scotland and it really didn't get much air time till it became possible that the yes campaign might win.
In fact I've spoken to you about it more than pretty much anyone else
If I get one e-mail that starts with "Can you help" and contains the phrase "We believe this is caused by...." when I've reiterated time and time again that they're looking in the wrong place I'm going to get upset
I've also just seen an e-mail in a trail that says "I asked this yesterday, but Dan didn't answer the question". The very defition of the XY problem but they're obsessed with the Y :(
@RobM As we're now engaged professionally, you'll just need to ignore all of my posts in here from now on and presume I'm 100% professional all of the time
