Before ESX 7.0.3, I can count the number of times I had to call VMswear for support on one hand.... Heck, one finger. They seriously screwed the pooch on 7.0.3. We had to open several tickets with them about new issues.
This is all ESXi 6. The customer doesn't want to upgrade to 7. Jaja.
So this is, in theory, the "good" Vmware.
ROFL! Just don't upgrade them to 7.0.3. Apparently, that's when the problems really got bad.

one of the issues that we ran into is apparently a common filesystem corruption problem with 6.5. A key problem with Vmware is that it doesn't have the filesystem reliability of any modern OS.
I've run VMware since v2.0 in various forms and have NEVER had file system corruption happen. That's crazy! .... although as of late, I can definitely believe it, lol.

I had the same feeling. How could a filesystem be bad in this age? And such a simple one!

I feel your pain. I've been up since 4am EST (it's now ~7:20 EST)... Still pouring caffeine into me to see if I can get my motivation for the day.

That's many years of process. It takes six months or so just for the US to produce the necessary paperwork to file!

Oh yeah, that's even worse. This is ONLY the outbound paperwork. Like apostile of birth records and crap like that.

So you have to go high five a border guard, and collect a stamp so you can stay in Nicaragua?
All because immigration processes? -

Good morning. Up for a bit before going back to bed. Odd travel sleep schedule.
In Costa Rica, but will be in the USA this evening.
-
Napped, breakfasted, and back at it. Heading to the airport in just over an hour.

Coworker called me and the converstaion went a little like this;
them: I'm a dumb ass
Me: is that youre new name? thats what we call you now? -
Been fighting technology a bit - sad to say I'm going to have to burn the Win10 install on an older laptop as it seems it just can't handle updates and such on it. Well, it is about time to retire the thing to being nothing more than a Chromebook.
It's taken a bit of time, but have a new system built up enough to connect and control the radio again - and about to send email over HF using WinLink.. I could just use Telnet - but it's more fun to send email over HF to a station 500 or so miles away to be delivered to a fellow ham about 10 miles from me now. yes yes,.. over kill - but it's something to do that is different and rather fun - of sorts.
Might have to go back and re-read how to use We-Fax. If I use a high speed fan and a glass of salt water - I can just imagine being on a boat in the middle of the Atlantic.....hurp... oh god... (runs off being sea sick).

@gjacobse winlink's still around? we took our relay down what 9-10 years ago maybe? I may have to try and get it re-set up.
