@Tim_G said in What Are You Doing Right Now:
I don't think he really has any concept of modern IT. Probably mostly just the old stuff they teach you in class that's not really relevant anymore.
That would explain the virtualization. But he should have known how to ask questions, how to look things up, how to listen to advice (he improved in later posts, at least) and the Ethernet bit he should have already known.

My head hurts now.

Me whenever @scottalanmiller jumps into a discussion involving installing to bare metal:

@scottalanmiller I was this guy not too long ago and sometimes I revert back to being this guy now. I think if you listed what the benefits of virtualization are he would be more receptive as he most likely doesn't know them, kind of like if you started talking in-depth about SAN's to me--I'd have very little to add and I probably wouldn't understand most of it. I don't get the impression that this guy is trying to be bad at receiving help even though he is, just like I am sometimes even though I don't mean to be. It's just a matter of ignorance.

His About Me says it all.
"Overall daily management of the IT department where I'm a one man IT team that daydreams of Body Surfing and sip'n margaritas by the pool.
I'm told all the time that i'm NOT your typical IT guy and I like that."
-
Not typical has in "you have no clue how insane you really are".

@Kelly One of his biggest triggers for sure lol
btw @scottalanmiller I have a need for high throughput on a production application server housing 75 TB. My best practice Raid 5 configuration is really going to shine

RAID0 would be so much faster!

Problem is, it's not my job to explain the same basics over and over again. They are well documented and he's a decade past it being okay to make this mistake. Really, explaining it without someone asking is quite condescending. If he disagrees with the industry, he's free to ask and that's the proper response.

75 TB is a lot of data to RAID... Anything over 12 TB shouldn't be raided and should be just straight pass-through and set up as individual drives.
Edit: not serious!!!!

We've been on this forum for awhile now and we know when each other is being sarcastic but it doesnt translate well in text. Sorry!

What's funny is that in other forums, this would be actual advice that shows up!

What is actually tough with that sarcasm is that you MIGHT have been meaning something like "because RAIN will use them" or something. So it is almost realistic.

Cause you know... RAID0 would be X-drives faster! Plus you don't lose any storage space when you RAID them together. It's a double win!
