Ok, maybe tricky isn’t the right word, but at least I couldn’t find anything written on this particular issue. Maybe it’s too simple a solution even for the VMware KB, but anyway. I was cleaning out some local datastores (Smart Array 420 and 420i controllers) and ran into an issue where I was unable to […]
Read MoreSo now I’ve gone and done it! I am doing something with my Pi. What I’ve done is, install nginx in a jail on it. Why? Just because I haven’t done that before. I’ll talk a bit more about what I did, and how in this post. Why nginx? Well, the primary reason is that it’s […]
Read MoreThere’s no possible way to make a Raspberry Pi-joke that hasn’t already been made. LSI So far so good. Things’ve been working fine, though I have to look into disabling the bios since I’m not booting from any drives that are behind the LSI card. Boot times are three times as long as without the […]
Read MoreI bought an IBM M1015 raid card. Which is actually an LSI 9240, containing a SAS2008 chip. It is a basic card, with no battery backup. It has two mini-SAS ports, that can be split to 8 SAS/SATA devices (four per port), and then configured to either RAID0 or RAID1. With a feature-key (some little […]
Read MoreSo all is now well and installed. The motherboard SATA mode is set to “RAID” (was “AHCI”). The configuration is now as follows: 256GB Samsung 840 Pro SSD – System drive for Windows 7 and Linux 2 x Western Digital Red 1TB in RAID1 configuration (using the built in RAID chip on the motherboard, an […]
Read MoreSo this post will be about my new hard drives, which arrived today. I got one 256GB Samsung 840 Pro SSD, and two Western Digital Red 1 TB drives. They will replace my current drives, which are a mixed bag, topped off with a 128GB Samsung 830 SSD. The 830 obviously is still one of […]
Read MoreThis Syria bullshit? It’s bullshit right? “Obama asks Congress to approve attacks!”. Based on what, I ask? Oh, we don’t need to worry about that. Russia is fuming, because they feel they are being shat on. And I believe they are. IF, and that’s a very strong if, the US has the proof they ‘need’ […]
Read MoreNothing specific to talk about, but I felt like writing anyway. Don’t multihome vmk ports in ESXi Multihoming vmk ports on ESXi 5 (?) and later is not kosher. It’ll allow you to make the config, and it’ll even work, for a random period of time. You probably want separate physical ports for management and […]
Read MoreAssembly 2013 came and went. All in all a less-than-average Assembly, but it wasn’t all a waste. Let me talk to you about the Occulus Rift. Occulus Rift is a set of VR goggles, that are in the process of coming to the market (with a consumer release probably happening in 2014), and is now […]
Read MoreWhy must I pay 4,99€ for a pile of bits that Americans pay $4,99 for? I’m just saying. Why is it that I have to pay more for a product that doesn’t have to cross any borders, or be subject to any taxes or customs fees? The bits do cross a border, yes, but we’re […]
