I've played with Turnkey linux, and its scary how easy of a process those guys have made those systems.
Sooooo EASY! You miss everything that you really need to know about the system in every case.
@scottalanmiller How would this be any different than using something like NETHSERVER? Aren't the use cases the same, people who want a simple web interface to setup linux servers without having the knowledge of how things are really set up?
I've not looked at turnkey but n i've not looked at turnkey bye nest server nethserver is for managing applications on the operating system not for managing the operating system
Normally I can understand your point... but damn this is difficult this morning.

Turnkey just offers Debian based images with preinstalled software, managed by Webmin and the default admin page of the webapp.

I'm lost.

Having not used turn key, just reading this thread, it sounded like turn key was a full management layer on top of a base install for managing a server, something like webmin.
I was stating that nethserver is basically just a management interface for the individual services.

We finally found the replication point and recovered the file. One thing I noticed working here is that the VM's are not named the host names. I looked for it for hours across all of our subdomains and could not find it. I had to go through each individual VM and eventually found it.

We still have some old Unix white beards that do this. It annoys the crap out of me. He just set up a server and called it Odin.....

That's all fine and good as long as odin.mydomain.net actually resolves to that actual server, lol.

Our one server... it got names Zues. Of course we knew it was going to be just the 1 server for the foreseeable future.

If you must use Planets, Greek gods, Mythical creatures, et al... Please make sure they are pselled correctly to avoid further confusion.

If you think that failing to map hostname to VM name is bad. At the bank we once had a server named something like 192.168.5.34. And no, that was NOT it's IP address.

I don't understand the reason to do that over function. I'd much rather name a server WDS01 then Ptah01.

O.o I didn't even know you could do that... I also can't imagine the number of problems that caused...

Webmin is actually a part of whatever he used

Uck. Do you know the type of file system (xfs, ext3, ext4, zfs)?
ext4
I prefer xfs, that can be growth online. Always use LVM.
It's trivial to expand a volume with LVM: just add another virtual disk to the machine, pvadd, lvexend, xfs_growfs and you're done.
