It's less me having a problem with this cost, and more the administrator. Management often doesn't see value in something they can't see directly having an effect on production or productivity.

If it breaks after it has been EOL'd can they still next day you one to replace it with?

If I'm under contract, they'll be sending me something.

Documentation is in a share, not on a wiki or other repository?

How does that work when the share is down/gone?

Well its mirrored on two different file servers using DFS. There are on separate hosts. Both Servers are backed up using Veeam and we keep 7 days of full backups for each server.

Not 100% safe, but it would take some serious issues to lose access.

You can deploy Cockpit to CentOS too. Red Hat just moved it to "default install" in Fedora before it went to CentOS.

Good to know.
Will have a hunt on Monday have a play oh and of course "Do some Work"

When in doubt just...

find / -name iptables.conf -print

If it's connected to the Internet, then it's not secure.

From this thread (Error Code 13) it appears that some of the coding is a bit harsh in that it wants to install in a location not generally used for installing applications. And thus causes the issue.

Those are pretty normal locations for installing user apps that aren't system wide.

Now if only one of those three actually tested it, lol. Or @Lakshmana could test it and demonstrate to his boss that it is gone very easily.

If you're looking for something similarly spec'd you could just buy and beef up a Thinkserver TS440. They are pretty inexpensive, have 8 bays for drives, Xeon E3-1225 v3 proc, ECC memory, redundant power supply (only comes with on slot populated), and start off under $500.

I've seem that type of cupcake before, more commonly in the gaming world.
They make wild generalisations about topics they don't quite understand, in the hopes if impressing the old guard who write them off as n00bs

Can be handy to have one of those hot swap USB drive port things.

If you show only one thing, showing something over and over that is 3% of the market is weird.

As you said, it's only weird if you do sell more than just that one thing that is such a small part of the market.

Going with VCs is a dangerous road. Not the first company that I've seen that was going strong try to make some money that route and find that all the company's original values were gone and there was nothing more to be done.

The OpenAoE Project is a great idea, and the inventor of the protocol is involved to supporting the project. Nice work Yacine.

This means that resilvers expected to fail when we look at the math model that only gives has an average (mean) failure rate we get successful resilver after success resilver. This also means that array expansion operations (replacing one drive at a time with a larger drive) would also be far more likely to be successful than expected based solely on the math averages.

And that's how my boss got away with it heheh (well so far)

I'm not necessarily opposed to using 15.04, I've just always stuck with the LTS releases for deployment.

I'm the opposite. Due to stability and patch issues, I would never use LTS for production (only in a lab) except for the time when the LTS release is also the current release. Remember LTS is only a name and does not imply any additional support. Staying on old, out of date, unsupported OS versions is especially bad in production.

We had a physical server change and did a fresh install rather than an upgrade from 6.2 to 6.5 so did not need to do it or I would have had a first hand experience to share. We are on XenServer 6.5 and have been for a bit now. The final product is awesome.

If it is purely the sync option, I believe you can simply remove it. Since it is a sync, everything will be left as it is now.

I've been having issues with the notification section.
I have finally figured out posting (bit slow today) but the notification slide-out is blank 😞

Edit Edit: Just noticed the WP8.1 thread

No. Just a simple residential router. I'll try from the office tomorrow to see if I can reproduce there.
