Everyone, I am in the process of migrating over a samba Linux VM from an openvz based system to a vmware based system.? I am migrating over these services: apache samba rsync (daemon via xinetd) I'm trying to improve my documentation and I want to make a linux vm best practices SOP that can be used as the template for all new server setups.? Does anyone have any similar kinds of

Hi All. I am currently running docker 1.13 on Centos 7 boxes with devicemapper storage plugin. I would like to know what are your experiences in regard to: - storage plugins - kernel versions - stability I consider upgrade to docker 17.03.1 and would like to choose most stable combination of kernel/storage plugin. Thanks for all info! BR, Rafal.

Any suggestions on applications that involve alot of calcualtions on a fairly large data set? My app uses a set of raw data ~5k, applies some default/override rules on the raw data and does some calculations on the data in combination with a list of assumptions. A ranked list along with detailed metrics is generated. The end user can manipulate some of the rules and assumptions to generate

Hello, We have a new Thor here with 24TB of disk in (first of many, hopefully). We are trying to determine the bext practices with respect to file system management and sizing. Previously, we have tried to keep each file system to a max size of 500GB to make sure we could fit it all on a single tape, and to minimise restore times and impact should we experience some kind of volume

Hello all. I am in need of some guidance. First a little background. Currently our mail server is on physical hardware (Dell server with 2x 2.8GHz Xeon w/ 4GB ram, raid5 array, single gigabit nic) running on Fedora 11 and postfix-2.5.6-3.fc11.x86_64 with dovecot-1.2.11-3.fc11.x86_64. Mailstore is via Maildir format that was converted from mbox about a year ago. This same machine is also our PDC

We are implementing a ZFS storage server (NAS) to replace a NetApp box. I have a Sun server with two dual Ultra320 PCIX cards connected to 4 shelves of 12 500GB disks each, yielding a total of 24TB of raw storage. I''m kicking around the different ways to carve this space up, balancing storage space with data integrity. The layout that I have come to think is the best for me is to

Hello, I'm currently setting up a virtualization infrastructure based on CentOS 5.4 x86_64 and KVM. I want to use LVM because of its flexibility, especially the ability to add more disk space to a guest if needed. We are considering using an hardware RAID1 with BBU as the lowest layer. My question is: where is it recommended to put the LVM? 1. On the host only In that case, the guests

Hi, What are the current best practices for running asterisk as SIP B2BUA? Are there any sample configs online or the books that detail this configuration for the newbies? I'm going to run it behind 1:1 NAT for the clients in the public internet so I will use the externip, localnet, and nat settings. Thanks, Andrew

Hi all, I have been having the weirdest network browsing problems on my network the past week. Come to find out the wins.dat file got corrupted. Removing that file fixed everything. Because our systems typically have uptimes measured in months rather than days, and it is difficult for me to restart Samba except as a scheduled task (which I'm afraid to do because there are users who

Using VM's was a suggestion I put forward but some of our staff didn't like the idea! We can't virtualise Windows as we run many CAD and Media app's that require high end graphics card utilisation. The Linux image is mainly used for coding type activities and so virtualising that would seem sensible - unfortunately that is not my call.. Regards Darren Williams -----Original

I was wondering if someone can shed some light on why vhd files created with qemu-img don''t really work right with vhd-util and consequentially blktap in general. To validate the incompatiblity its simple enough to do qemu-img create -f vpc test.vhd 40g vhd-util snapshot -n child.vhd -p test.vhd Which will show the below and then the headers don''t display the BATMAP summary:
