        I'm livid at the moment and in complete disbelief that I have to explain the difference between scheduled down time, and downtime.

        How one is "you plan for it to take X long, if it's shorter great. If the full length no one gives a crap."

        The other is "our systems are down at unplanned time, fix it quickly"

        Rename them "maintenance window" and "outage."

                Got the new router up and running and it is quite the improvement.

                  Not a problem at all. Will be much quieter here, no more fireworks, no more honking car parades, lesser drunks on the streets...

                        It's 8:30AM EST... Dull and early for me. Nothing bright in this boy until at least lunch time.

                          It is a dreary but hot and muggy day in NY too.

                            And another micro SD card (in a RPi3) is going the way of all mortal beings... :cross:

                            Began with some cryptic error from dpkg which turned out to be a filesystem warning (structure needs cleaning), did an fsck and now the card is dead. Still booting up to some point until it starts to complain about bad ELF headers 😉

                            SD cards for operating systems are such a bad idea... I'm thinking about just using cheap SD cards in the future which will hold /boot, everything else will be on a USB thumb drive. Or I will use another platform in the future, Banana Pi for example is a far superior platform overall: SATA, NIC not attached via USB 2, WiFi onboard...

                              SD cards are generally fine or even great of OSes. But you can't be writing to them, especially for logging. If you make sure that you are using an OS designed for this kind of use (a Live one) or you modify one for this use, they are very reliable.

                                Sure, they are fine for readonly access. I think I will build something myself, unionfs based maybe (or some successor).

                                      It could be that XS7 isn't supported on that hardware platform.

                                        Yes BUT requires that you modify it so as not to write locally. You can't skip that part.

                                          SD cards are generally fine or even great of OSes. But you can't be writing to them, especially for logging. If you make sure that you are using an OS designed for this kind of use (a Live one) or you modify one for this use, they are very reliable.

                                          Sure, they are fine for readonly access. I think I will build something myself, unionfs based maybe (or some successor).

                                          Yup, which is how things being installed to them should be. Same as running off of a LiveCD or LiveDVD which are not even writeable.

                                          But he was trying to install XenServer... Isn't that one of the Hypervisors that everybody has been telling us should be run from an SD card? ... I wonder if it could be an issue with XS7?

                                          Yes BUT requires that you modify it so as not to write locally. You can't skip that part.

                                          I was under the impression that XS takes that into account when installing to SD, etc.

                                            And another micro SD card (in a RPi3) is going the way of all mortal beings... :cross:

                                            Began with some cryptic error from dpkg which turned out to be a filesystem warning (structure needs cleaning), did an fsck and now the card is dead. Still booting up to some point until it starts to complain about bad ELF headers 😉

                                            SD cards for operating systems are such a bad idea... I'm thinking about just using cheap SD cards in the future which will hold /boot, everything else will be on a USB thumb drive. Or I will use another platform in the future, Banana Pi for example is a far superior platform overall: SATA, NIC not attached via USB 2, WiFi onboard...
