    • RE: Shrink VMDK - VMware

      @bbigford

      Yeah your right, but I think this effects other Hypervisors as well.

      one thing i heard they did with 6.5 was UNMAP storage, which automatically frees up the disk space, but you need storage array that supports it.

      https://www.opvizor.com/whats-new-in-esxi-6-5-storage-part-i-unmap/

      For me I had to:

      1) wipe free space from inside the guest os prior:
      
      Windows --> SDelete –z C:
      Linux   --> cat /dev/zero > zero;sync;sleep 1;rm -r -f zero
      
      2) vmkfstools --punchzero Windows_7_x32.vmdk
      
      But it takes some time and needs the VM to powered off at some point.

    • Linux NiC Bond Question

      Hi,

      after you create linux nic bonding, do you disable the original nic adapters, so only the bond network adapter gets IP and has priority.

      Cause the only way I saw activity of my nm-bond interface was when I disabled the ens33 and ens34 from getting an IP, so only the bond has it.

      Or you keep all interfaces as is with the machine having 3 IPs, how then it will determine to use the bond IP and not others?

      I used rr or round robin

    • RE: Storage Setup for KVM

      @eddiejennings

      1. keep your images and ISOs in the default location of /var/lib/libvirt/images/?

      Yes I do, but I create 2 new folders there, iso and vm.

      1. Fedora will be presented a 4 TB block device ?
        Why dont you separe that a little, and have more fun. Block device I assume DAS, if no why dont you make the storage reliable and robust, and make it its own server, like another fedora or centos install, with RAID 10 and the simplest option to share is NFS, and this way you can have many KVMs and the migration feature will actually work, and you can do RAID on just /var, and you scan scale easily with KVM nodes + KVM nodes can be state file, think salt stack, and you can treat them as pure compute nodes.

    • PHP 7.2 FPM global config issue

      Hi,

      So previous php versions I was able to do this:

      nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf

      	<FilesMatch \.php$>
      	#    SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
      		SetHandler "proxy:fcgi://127.0.0.1:9000" 
      	</FilesMatch>
      

      Now the configs or 7.2 are different, looks more like this:

      # Cause the PHP interpreter to handle files with a .php extension.
      #
      AddHandler php7-script .php
      AddType text/html .php
      

      How do I go and set to use php-fpm globally in php7.2

      @hobbit666

      I dont know, but my answer would be get rid of the rats problem, and do a traditional cable setup. Otherwise your doing alot of work cause of rats, which doesnt sound reasonable.

      Are they the big kind of rats ? with long tail ? red eyes ?

    • RE: Anyone Attempting Deploying Printers through SaltStack?

      @scottalanmiller

      Hmm, the thing is each printer will have its own definition.

      I treat this as I would with any software installer, use SS for performance and not rely much of its module but more of my batch scripting.

      So you create state where you would through some files on the client machines, then batch file next to it, and then the state would launch the the batch file and execute commands.

      Unless SS create module for this, there is no easy way.

    • RE: Looking to ditch windows at work....

      @irj

      There are many good Outlook alternatives, I dont think that should be your worry. More like the users and the look and feel of everything.

      When I made the choice of installing Fedora LXDE/LXQT on thin clients and we have around 34 of them, the whole reason it worked was everything needs to be done via web browser and when you do that, you dont need Windows OS anymore, just Linux + good printer companies with Linux drivers like Xerox.

      https://alternativeto.net/software/microsoft-office-outlook/?platform=linux

      If you users and company have Exchange, you need (forced) to use Outlook, maybe in the future when the use OWA or stuff like that, they can rely on web browsers only. But yeah if you really want to change this I think you need to change the core thing that is being an anchor which is Exchange server to something that has better clients.

    • RE: Office 365 Security Stops Password Resets

      @scottalanmiller said in Office 365 Security Stops Password Resets:

      Good news, logins from Fedora work without a hitch. All of the machines with issues are Windows.

      The answer to most IT issues, minimize Windows OS as much as possible and push everyone for Linux client OS.

      @wrx7m

      I think this is visible alot here in ML cause of Scott and the other guy who is knowledgeable but not as nice as Scott, but that does not mean it is globally. I still love Centos and prefer using it as my main server OS.

    • RE: Advantages of CentOS or Fedora over Debian?

      @pete-s

      I started with Debian at first, loved the philosophy but then I grown up and loved getting paid, you know MOLA, chedder, cheese, speak up cant hear you money in the way.

      And I noticed debian hates it when you make money, it is like everything must be open and free and when you talk to enterprises you want more than that plus the philosophy is childish they blocked firefox for so many years just cause of crap reasons and fork it, the goal of debian and one OS for all is very ambitions and beautiful but it also makes you want to get depressed and suicide (RIP IAN) , it is good and stable and getting more frequent updates but at the time Centos always got faster updates + the package of Centos and RHEL and Fedora and less notably Oracle enterpise OS, beats the crap out of Debian + ubuntu.

      I still love one thing about debian that you can easily remaster it.

      I think my mindset is to stick with Centos and if for any reason Centos dies or sold out I will move to debian, but at this time and era I can utilize Centos and benefit from the good stuff of RHEL/Fedora which takes time but we eventually get it, and it plays nice(r) with Centos, I mean it should = KVM/cockpit, however this is not rule of thumb but more like expected.

      @obsolesce said in Advantages of CentOS or Fedora over Debian?:

      I don't use Debian for anything, ever, so I cant really compare. But there is a very recent thread on why most of us choose Fedora. Most of that here will just be a repeat. Hopefully someone can link it quick, I really can't right now.

      Technically, you could run a web server on any damn OS and I'm sure it will work... But go take a look at that thread, tons of useful comments there!

      https://mangolassi.it/topic/17393/centos-7-why-did-almost-everyone-switch-to-fedora

      I posted the topic a few days ago.

      My turn tomorrow, when will some one post about FreeBSD that thing is truly amazing, it is mind boggling why we dont use it more instead of Centos/Fedora...etc, they say once you go FreeBSD you dont come back,
