I have bottled water from the Erie County Municipal supply here, for some odd reason.

Boil Water advisory issued for my town. Had a break in a 36" main overnight. Could be 3-4 days before the order is lifted.
Oh man that sucks.
Or boils, rather...

Its not so bad for us we always have a case of bottled water around. Sh'es boiling up some and storing it right now. Worst case her mom's 20 min away and not affected so we can get water there
-
I personally would rather boil water than to have to buy bottled water from the store.
The water out of the bottles is often just as bad, granted not sewage bad, but still just bad.

But you could resize it.
And you don't think THAT will blow it up? At this point, I am nervous to touch it, haha.
This is the progression of steps I plan to take...
- Set up another XS with all spinning rust disks. (DONE)
- Let it run for a few days to ensure it doesn't crash. (DONE)
- Symlink /var/log on the system, and see if it crashes the new system
- If it crashes, then try resizing the SR on a new test system to ensure no craziness happens.

No, why would it? I think your concern here is backwards. Avoiding the correct way to do something because you think that it might break, but I have no idea why. While making a slightly risky change with a very clear reason that it might break something.

I just don't believe that 212F will kill sewage. I'll take the bottled spring water.

Bottled spring water for myself as well please

I prefer purified water. I've seen springs run through manure patches. Spring is just another term for ground water.

Testing out Comodo ONE helpdesk system. Seems decent on first glance. Will be playing with it for a few days to see how reports go etc.

I think that a thread of screenshots is in order! Many of us have never seen it at all.

If performance is your guide, KVM has the best Windows performance. And Xen has the best Linux performance.
If ease of use is your guide, many of us find XenServer to be the easiest to learn (after VMware which is mostly only easy by not having any features.) Hyper-V is confusing enough that many people can get XS installed and working before they can even figure out what Hyper-V is
But people used to the MS ecosystem thoroughly sometimes find it easier to use because they are already using many of the Windows remote management tools, but tons of Windows Admins don't do that making Hyper-V rather confusing again.If features is your guide, XenServer and Hyper-V top the list for sure. Massive feature sets, all for free. KVM comes it right behind them. VMware isn't in the game there, unless you have insanely deep pockets.
I'm only exposed to a certain percentage of the overall posts. I guess I just saw a lot of love for Hyper-V /shrug
Guess I'm installing XenServer

I don't know if anyone that uses hyper-v here LOVES it - it's just not terrible. It's vanilla ice cream. The Ford Crown Victoria of automobiles.

It's actually pretty good. Lots of usable features and a decent interface if you're a Windows Admin. A solid choice and very close second place behind Xen/XenServer. With every iteration Powershell is becoming more and more usable.

Agreed, we run it here.
I think you're bang on with powershell - it could have a very bright future.

To @coliver and @MattSpeller the only issue I have with Hyper-V and powershell is that so much of the wonderful powershell is essentially proprietary to every installation.
Plus I'm dealing with Hyper-V right now and yeah.... bag of something.....

What do you mean proprietary? While the verb-noun syntax is silly and ridiculously complex. It is a very well documented scripting language.

If you consider PS for administration as making Hyper-V usable, XenServer benefits from both BASH/SSH options and the XAPI API.

Am I crazy on this thread, the question/OP's title is about drive shares. Once I asked what he meant he just wants to know "what everyone uses to process files on a share."
Not process any specific files, or specific shares or for any particular purpose just... what?
