@momurda Huh.

lvextend -l +100%FREE -r /dev/mapper/centos-root

Seems to have done it.

I swear I ran the command multiple times. I suspect I was missing the "+" on "+100%FREE". I wonder what the difference is?

When creating an logical volume, you tell it how much space to use. While when making a change to the logical volume you need to tell it how much to add or remove. Thus the + or - when using lvchange, but not needed with lvcreate.

My money is on fake RAID you got there. So use md.

Also because you already use MD. 🙂

You know what, I can even move the two disks to my new workstation and not have to transfer any data.

I think the answer may have been found... 😄

Actually even better, I can break the RAID 1 on my current box and convert it to non-RAID, then move one of the disks to my new workstation and convert it back to RAID 1. If done right, I think I can do it all without any data loss too.

I'd prefer to just move the two disks and not have to transfer any data... but that's just me.

Yeah. I'll need to copy my home directory to the SSD in my current box before doing that though. That might be easier than breaking/re-creating the RAID. I'm not quite ready to "switch" yet. Hmm...

I've grown to hate E-mail signatures that include images.

I've gone back and forth over the years. For a while I had our organization's logo in my signature. I no longer do. I seem to flip flop between sending emails as plain text and then going nuts with HTML formatting. I think I just get bored and need a change-up every now and then, lol.

The reason why I removed the logo from my signature was because to our mail server (Zimbra) every email I sent appeared like it had an attachment. So doing a search for "all emails I sent with an attachment" was not very helpful...

Tons of email systems do that, it's amazing how few people will ever see the email formatted as intended. It must be like 1%.

Maybe do some role play... what is the use case where you end up with misconfigured DNS and then want to the person or system with that issue to really go offline completely? Like not just losing some things, but losing patching and monitoring too.

I have been down this road before, and yes. If someone was over at Art's Motel and had to set specific DNS setting in order to work right, and then comes back on my network and gets DHCP, but not a DHCP assigned DNS, then I want then to get no where.. Broken.

Yes!

insert appropriate meme here

So you are letting the users manage their own DNS settings? Lots of times you need to, so that's a valid case, I just want to be clear that that is what we are talking about.

Well, not the users directly. But there may be a case where DNS settings are altered undesirably (by IT, by malicious software, or simply an issue with the OS not flushing stale DNS settings from going off network).

@anthonyh said in SpamAssassin Question:

quick reply-of-shame, then an update of this thread.

Nice! Is like reading your code in a nice screen 🙂 just for what you need

@anthonyh awesome you got it covered then 🙂

Well that was a fail. The append function was not what I thought it was. It's for elements within the XML file, not the value of a given element. Arg. Hmm...

@anthonyh Awesome! Great job!

lol @travisdh1

The process should be pretty simple. Unjoin the W2k3 machine from the NT 4 domain, rename the user's home folder, join it to the new domain, login as Admin and let it create the new profile directory. The use the profile copy options to get the profile copied over.

See the XP instructions here: https://kb.iu.edu/d/aidk

Used the local admin account to bind, and GAL address autocompletion works in Evolution and Thunderbird. So, thats good. Now to create that dummy account...

@anthonyh said in CentOS 6.8 - Time Zone Issue:

Yeah. I guess I can just do this for now.

yum update --exclude=tzdata*

And I suppose it's safe to assume it'll be fixed soon.

Yup, they might have it fixed any day for all you know.

@thwr said in Email Issue:

Yeah, got a couple dozen mails yesterday too. Glad you managed to get that working.

Nice, maybe posting will pick up now!

I know one thing that picked up...

The speed at which my inbox is filling. Holy Crap Batman!

I hate email notifications. so i have that all turned off.

I do too, but Jared and I both keep the site open and keep watching it all the time, so getting emails is unnecessary for us as we know that there is something happening on the site faster than email would tell us anyway.

Ha. One of those "well, I feel stupid" moments. Specifying the source interface in the tftp command resolved the problem!

copy tftp://serverIP/filename.bin;int=inside flash:

The new ASA software version is copying over. Though it's quite slow. I'll have to see what tweaks I can make there...definitely not an issue for this thread. 😄

@RamblingBiped said in Bandwidth Usage By Host:

I use iftop: http://www.ex-parrot.com/pdw/iftop/

@Romo said in Bandwidth Usage By Host:

I use iftop as well.

Oooh, so if I mirror the port connecting to our WAN and put the NIC in promiscuous mode, iftop should give me what I'm looking for?

Hmm. Something I just discovered is that even running "telnet --help" gives me the exact same delay.

@scottalanmiller said in FreePBX Direct RTP Setup:

Why the heck does it show the network in KB instead of Kb. How silly.

That shows your average at pretty close to 100Kb/s. Just eyeballing it.

No idea. It's been this way since I've been here.

FreePBX has always used that notation.

@anthonyh said in Ubiquiti AF5 Connection Question:

"UBNT-Chuck" from my Ubiquiti thread (the employee who initially tested this for me) re-tested and confirmed that in his environment directly connecting the two results in a 100Mbps link. Hopefully they fix that in a future revision.

Did they confirm that this is an auto-sense problem due to the POE injectors?

They just confirmed that it was a problem. Haha...

Unfortunately the issue I'm having still exists...I may start a separate thread about it if I get completely stumped.

God's speed.

@DustinB3403 lol, no it wasn't.
