currently laughing to myself as my coworker and lead tech talk to an ISP : they replaced the router and now the site cant get to the internet.
They don't know that I know How to fix it or that I can fix it... cause lead tech (boss who seemed to have been demoted from Hospitality manager..) so I'm just laughing to myself and shaking my head...Makes me appreciate the place I'm currently working at. I was told straight up "I hired you because you're better than I am."
I was hired because they needed a body in the chair to do as they say. not as they know.

Sooooo... the issue is that it can't browse the internet. but we can connect into it.Which means that the internet is working; they apparently opened up the sonic wall completely for the time being so they can test the internet.. which tells me (correct me if I'm wrong) that the Router is the cause of the issue.

Sooooo... the issue is that it can't browse the internet. but we can connect into it.That's a bad way to phrase it. What does "can't browser the Internet" mean to you here? That RDP works means that Internet access is working. So routing is guaranteed to be okay.

Firewall could be an issue. But most often it's just DNS is wrong and people are only testing web browsing with DNS involved and RDP without DNS involved. Go to a website without using DNS and see what is up.
Or better, use tools like ping and nslookup, always start there, tells you nearly everything right away rather than running around trying to interpret second hand symptoms.

Right now, Iām just becoming familiar with just creating physical volumes, volume groups, and small logical volumes from a group. One thing I am curious though is how (if) a physical volume failure is handled.

If you have three physical volumes and one is bad.
/dev/sda1 (bad)
/dev/sdb1
/dev/sdc1# If possible, move data from bad drive. pvmove /dev/sda1 -OR- pvmove /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 # Remove the bad drive vgreduce <volumegroupname> /dev/sda1 -

Man, I've not seen CBT Nuggets in forever. Back in 2001, they were the BEST. I used them so much. Loved that stuff.
