theblazehensquish102: You can't just point vmware to the disk image?17:37
squish102theblazehen: the physical ubuntu has a software raid 5 array directly attached. vmhost has a hardware raid 5 setup19:01
squish102think i have to use convert utility and suck all of that over a gig ethernet connection19:01
theblazehensquish102: Should still be easy to create the fs, partitions, and `tar | nc` to it19:02
squish102hmmm, i need to look into that 19:03
squish102i'm not sure how long it will take to move 6Tb of data over network either, maybe 3 days is as fast as it will go19:04
squish102maybe set up a quick point to point 10G network (have no spare switch)19:05
superflyhey squish102, theblazehen20:59
squish102hey superfly22:19
squish102superfly: what people find tough in the US is it is not south africa22:19
superflythis is true22:19
squish102I know a few that coudnt make it22:20
squish102one reason believe it or not22:20
superflyI'm married to an American, so I think that makes me slightly different to others.22:20
squish102is that they could not take it that everyone is law abiding22:20
superflyOh yes, I've noticed that22:20
superflyI have had to turn down my aggressiveness when driving. And I'm not aggressive in South African terms22:21
squish102that is a problem, i think22:21
squish102everyone asleep at the wheel22:21
squish102i prefered being aggressive22:22
squish102now i just look forward to self driving vehicles, because driving is so boring now22:22
superflyI disagree22:22
squish102i think there are more accidents due to people not paying attention to the road while driving22:23
squish102in SA you had to pay attention 22:23
superflyI don't know. I'd have to check the stats.22:23
squish102or you would die :)22:23
superflysquish102: where in NC are you?22:24
squish102another reason is you could be middle to upper class in SA and when you come here you more like middle to lower (or treated that way because of your credit score)22:25
squish102here is what google maps says22:26
squish102https://www.google.com/maps/@34.9598914,-80.7405328,16z22:26
squish102Charlotte, nc22:26
squish102just outside the google fiber area :(22:27
superflyAh, OK. I was in Raleigh recently22:28
squish102Raleigh is nice22:29
squish102not quite as nice as charlotte22:29
squish102go there a couple times a year22:30
superflyAh. I was doing my New Hire Orientation with Red Hat22:31
squish102ahhh, my company has a love hate with red hat :)22:32
squish102run lots of RH, but now we run Oracle Linux22:33
squish102Cheaper22:33
superflyDancing with the devil :-P22:33
squish102well hate oracle too22:34
squish102we slowly moving from redhat to OL, only 500 servers to go :(22:36
superflyso they like that Oracle is less support too? and has none of the expertise that Red Hat has?22:37
superflyCause that's all Oracle Linux is, RHEL with Oracle logos... and Oracle has none of the actual engineers at hand.22:37
squish102luckly RH/OL is very stable and have pretty sharp linux engineers22:38
squish102never use support22:38
superflyIt's not about calling up support, it's more about updates, security, and the knowledgebase22:39
squish102OL support is very bad, RH support is a little better22:40
squish102ol gets the updates etc, and we don't do a great job of patching anyway :)22:40
squish102still trying to get windows patching working well22:41
superflythat I cannot help you with22:45
