@scottalanmiller hey it was a smiling face. It was intended as a joke!
I get it, but people start to repeat that stuff quickly and truly start to believe that there is a group who thinks that things are black and white and certain things that should be grey areas are actually black and white. Like instead of "agentless is rarely the best option" people start to believe "agent based is the only option." Or at least believe that a group of people claim such. It's happened a lot. RAID is a good example.

@romo unfortunately the free one has not CBT
CBT (in the o/s) is "rumored" to be coming in the 7.6 release of RHEL/CentOS.

Which will be awesome. Windows Server 2016 has this, but it doesn't work well. I had it setup previously and it corrupted our test share. We had to disable it and revert to our backup.

Which backup software were you using when it was enabled?

This was a combination, Xen Orchestra and something else for the file level ( I don't recall which atm ) but it was a name brand one. Maybe it was Backup Exec ( I honestly can't remember )

Backup report via email:

Backup & Restore...
Fedora 28 vm (in my homelab), full backup was taken this afternoon:
I restored the vm to a different Fedora 28 host (at the co-lo)
On the left is the original vm (homelab), on the right is the "restored" vm (co-lo)
-
Installing/testing oVirt 4.2.6:
- 3 node gluster (hyperconverged)
- this install is "nested" on a Fedora 28 host

I've loosey been reading the posts on this but what is oVirt? Is it just a management thing for KVM or is it and KVM based hypervisor in it's self?
-
I'm not using LV Cache, Compression or Dedupe, but it is available:

Think of it as the KVM equivalent of vmWare vSphere.
-
So would you only use it in a "cluster" of servers?

You can do a single node or 3 nodes. (nodes aka hosts)
Those are your typical setups. -
oVirt single node gluster install
In the next release (which will 4.2.7), you'll be able to deploy a single node install from Cockpit UI.

@fateknollogee That's awesome!

It's a cloud infrastructure software, I'd call it a cloud stack but there's a product named that... it's a competitor of OpenStack or Apache's CloudStack.

It's KVM management. It is not cloud, nor a hypervisor. Just a management console.

It's not a cloud, nor a stack. It's only one layer of a virtualization management "stack". The stacks include the storage, storage management, virtualization management, cloud components, etc. This is only the one piece. It lacks the pieces necessary to be cloud (autoprovisioning and API based access.)

It does have API based access and just because autoprovisioning isn't ready to go out of the box, doesn't mean it can't. You can easily create scripts that autoprovision resources and for example, VPSs using the API.

I'll agree to this.
