Have you been in Greece?

@BeastOfCaerbannog I remember seeing that on TV. We were watching it with my parents for some reason and we almost pissed ourselves laughing!

@terdon Hahaha! It's comparable only to Hercules soloing on electric guitar!

Thanks @BeastOfCaerbannog, by the way, you using your TL account?

I haven't actually downloaded anything new, but I'm still active.

Please download the new Freeleech (about 1 or 2 min ago) torrents, the download not count, is great for you. and also you can download up to 6 GB without account warning, and if you will get disabled by mistake just tell me and I will help you to get enabled quickly.

Enjoy the site mate!

here is a search by the Freeleech tag (torrentleech.org/torrents/browse/index/facets/tags%3AFREELEECH), just wait for a new one, about 1 or 2 min ago.

OK! Thank you very much Benny!

The latest Freeleech I see right now is a "Robinson S20"

torrentleech.org/torrent/1883913#torrentinfo

This one ^ just released again, it notified on IRC, just download it.

or wait for a new one.

Downloading right now!

great, me 2 :D

Freeleech helps increase the Ratio.

Yeah, though usually they have very few leechers, or are extremely big in size.

and by the way, you have 1 slot, it go from, 1 - 4 to unlimited, it means you limit to 1 torrent.

Good to know. Thanks!

So at work I got passed an Ubuntu server that I'm trying to make right. We have basically no Ubuntu people at the company and I'm the most experienced. I managed to SSH in, get MATE installed, RDP in.

My problem is I'm running out of space, but I'm really confused by the drives/mounting. I have a huge drive on there but I don't get the terminology and how everything is set up. I'm trying to expand the Filesystem(?) I think.

If I open "Disks" program I see:

2.2 TB Hard Disk
VMWare Virtual Disk

@GBarron Might be useful to have something 'visualise' where the space is being used, rather than worry about how the space is used

The 215 "Block Device" is what my server accesses and I assume what the Filesystem is on. I'm really confused, though, because my VMWare tech said there was just the 2.2 TB Hard Disk on their end. Is the "Block Device" something like a partition of the HD? But if it is why doesn't it show on the HD under the partitions?

The most important thing is, those 215 GB are all my server has access to and we're running out of room. I need to expand that however that needs to happen

wait... vmware tech?

Is this a VM?

Yes, sorry. Hosted on VMWare

Ok... couple of useful tools here

firstly, could you open up a terminal and type in lsblk?

paste.ubuntu.com/p/HJNnSkJDmw

you should see something like this...

So with it listed on lsblk ubuntu-vg shows under sda3

Which is why it was my assumption it's somehow on that LVM2 partition

it should also show you the size

200 G

Copying off XRDP seems to not be behaving lol

But yes, the ubuntu-vg is displayed under sda3 which is the LVM2 partition of the 2.2 TB Hard Disk

I know LVM2 is supposed to be resizable and stuff but I don't have any experience with it to know how it's supposed to actually work

ooh, at this point there's 2 issues

you might need to adjust things on the VMware server end

and I suspect this is a bit more involved than is good for chat

I can yell at the VMWare guy if need be, but I think(?) it's set up okay there

Biggest problem is this server was stood up in an afternoon and then the contractor that called the shots on it got fired and there's no one left but me

And I'm only just competent enough with Linux to be dangerous

Looking at lsblk again I can see that the ubuntu-vg is indeed an LVM
