P.S. I voted Webroot obviously!

Wrapping my day at work. Only one job today.

Ok, I was able to figure it out. Here is the final results:

What I used to get info:

root@plex-server:/dev# lvs
  LV     VG             Attr      LSize  Pool Origin Data%  Move Log Copy%  Convert
  root   plex-server-vg -wi-ao--- 17.74g
  swap_1 plex-server-vg -wi-ao---  2.00g

root@plex-server:/dev# vgs
  VG             #PV #LV #SN Attr   VSize  VFree
  plex-server-vg   2   2   0 wz--n- 44.75g 25.02g

The command I ran to extend the logical volume and the file system together and the results:

root@plex-server:/dev# lvextend -r plex-server-vg/root /dev/sdb
  Extending logical volume root to 42.74 GiB
  Logical volume root successfully resized
resize2fs 1.42.9 (4-Feb-2014)
Filesystem at /dev/mapper/plex--server--vg-root is mounted on /; on-line resizing required
old_desc_blocks = 2, new_desc_blocks = 3
The filesystem on /dev/mapper/plex--server--vg-root is now 11203584 blocks long.

Thanks so much for your help and guidance @scottalanmiller ! I learned a lot today!

I want to order one so badly! However, $22 plus shipping for ONE SHIRT is just a bit steep right now..

Now, @scottalanmiller, one more question...the new virtual HDD is thin provisioned, so if I needed to expand it further, I can do it easily. Would I have to run lvextend again if I expand that drive in VMware? I assume so but are just curious. Thanks!

Fixed an issue for @Minion-Queen this morning. Being productive.

The NSA is very big, so they must make a good colo... and cloud backup.

LOL - frankly I'm surprised they don't offer it.

On the phone with Rogers technical support right now trying to find a certain client in their system, without much luck...

A certain client whose datacenters keep going offline?

No, this was regarding a DSL circuit. Because of the way they abbreviated the client's name in their system, it took us 15 minutes to find them...

Oh that is fun.. Document it for later...

Done.

Check the proxy settings, they affect only the browsers and not other functions (normally.)

This. I see this a lot. Reset IE but don't delete personal data.

For IE
Go to Internet Options > Advanced > Reset... > Reset

For Firefox
Enter this in the address bar with nothing else "about:support" > Refresh Firefox...

For Chrome
Go to this URL: chrome://settings/resetProfileSettings > Reset browser settings

@handsofqwerty I'll take Android stuff if you don't want it! 8-)

No, I got it because I WANTED Android and not the Apple stuff.

@scottalanmiller @handsofqwerty

I've been burned by the Windows software "raid" more than once... Nothing beats a good (tested) backup.

Yeah, which is why I want to deploy a Unitrends Free as well.

I can't believe staples doesn't offer an online upload option.

They might, just hard to find.

Paging @thanksajdotcom

I thought printing was a big part of what they did. You would think they would have a link right on their homepage.

There is a place on the site that you can upload documents and everything, preview, etc.

Yeah, I don't think said retailer is involved in that portion of the work. That's out of their scope.

I've heard of them doing stuff way out of their depth before. This sounds normal to me. But I could easily be wrong.

They don't around here I know, I'm friends with the GM of said retailer. It's bench tech, home networking with SOHO routers and printers only.

I know that in the area where he is they used to do business stuff that was outside of that scope.

Yeah, the official scope has never limited our store. If it's in the realm of my abilities, I'll do it. Besides, from what I'm aware, nothing limits me to just SOHO equipment. Maybe somewhere something does, but that's never been how we worked, and I can do onsites for businesses, so it's not like I'm only allowed to do it for home users.

Keep in mind doing this personally (especially if you don't have an LLC) you are taking a lot more personal liability than handing it over to @ntg

I just want to quote this for emphasis. It was what I was trying to get at earlier. If something goes wrong you are personally liable...

Not saying you will be negligent... but...

Well he is representing a company. So he has more than an LLC in this case.

He is? I know he will be for the printer installation, but what about for the actual hardware/software refresh? Is he representing himself or the company he works for at that point, has his company approved this labor?

Yeah, I don't think said retailer is involved in that portion of the work. That's out of their scope.

No, this would be through the retailer. But the ongoing support would not be. It'd be both too costly and not sufficient for them to have me do the ongoing support. I was discussing this with @Minion-Queen before. I can do the refresh cheaper than she would have to charge for, but the actual ongoing support would be cheaper through her.

Thank you to @nadnerB for the Chrome extension...

Here is a good explanation of the Linux directory structure:

Well, I'm glad you aren't dead.
I can see how maintaining an online presence has taken a back seat and wish you all the best.
 
Got any plans yet or are you still a bit shell shocked?

I'm still a little shell-shocked and I'm trying to figure things out but I'm waiting on external factors to give me some idea of what my next step is.
