      Here is someone with a four layer inverted pyramid. You rarely see this... http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/1415598-2-server-s-connected-to-a-jbod-array-as-storage-for-vmware

      He has a single disk cabinet, a JBOD cheap set of disks. It doesn't even have RAID. Just a dumb unit with power and connections for drives. As cheap as it gets. This is the bottom layer.

      Then, since there are no storage controllers, he has two Windows servers attached to that shared JBOD using Storage Spaces as the software RAID system. So this is Windows software RAID on the server side talking over a slow shared link to all of the drives. This creates an extra layer for failure and additional bottlenecks on top of using cheap components and Windows software RAID. This is layer two.

      Then those servers talk to switches via iSCSI or SMB3. This is layer three.

      Then the host nodes talk to the switches. This is layer four.

      So this is, instead of a 3-2-1 design, is a 4-2-2-1 design. A taller, more fragile type of inverted pyramid. Four different "links" in the chain meaning four different failure domains which, if any fail, everything fails. Four times the opportunity for disaster. And not at all cheap to implement.

        Just started studying on Linux Academy to help me with my AWS SysOps Administrator certification. Really in depth stuff!

            I just realized that Amazon Cloud Drive will store raw files as images, that's awesome!

              Just noticed that Citrix in their XenApp and XenDesktop documentation recommends NFS storage whenever possible as well (over block storage like iSCSI and FC.)

                Just set-up the wireless Extender for the AR Drone, now searching for battery mods to power the AP outside 😄 and see if i can enable WPA on the Drone.

                  So I'm digging Atom. It's nice that it doesn't pop up every other save and ask you to pay like Sublime does.

                  I still find myself doing most things in Vim though.

                    I love Atom. Been using it for about two years now.

                            This place is very quiet, even for a Monday morning. Where is everyone?

                                Well - I wonder if we will be closed tomorrow considering the weather.

                                    About seventy here. Sun is bright, windows and doors are open. This is gorgeous.

                                      We'll be in the mid 50s today in Ohio. We've had one amazingly mild winter (so far) here.

                                      Taking a minute to say hello on a Monday morning between reading log files. Block lists only grew by 2 over the weekend, less bad actors over the weekend than normal.

                                      All around, looking like a much better Monday morning than normal.

                                        Woop think I've cracked the FOG Server issues. Got it working on Ubuntu 14.04, got issues with the Images and where they are being stored, not sure if it a bug or I need to edit something.

                                          It's been a while, but if I remember right you can change where it stores them.

                                            That must be editable. Where is it storing them now and what is the problem caused by that?
