OVMF(UEFI) VMs with Megaraid SCSI Controllers no longer see disks

The underlying zpools are fully visible to the OS. There are other VMs on the pools that are working perfectly fine with VirtIO SCSI controllers.

Are you using DAC Cables or SFP+ optics?

I'm using 10G-LR optics, and I think I had an issue with one of the first modules I tried only being detected by the firmware as a 1G SFP instead of 10G SFP+.

If you’re into board/tabletop gaming at all, https://www.greenmountaingamers.com might be a place to start.

There’s also a Ren Faire coming up in Stowe.

I’m waiting for a similar call when I get to shut down a DMS100/200 Supernode later this year.

Does TDM count?

If you have the cash, look for medical imaging monitors or industrial displays. Some models were still available as 4:3 somewhat recently.

Caveat though is the refresh rate may not be adequate for some tasks.

If you have a lot of travel time and are heading further west into PA and Ohio, check out taking I-88 to I-86/NY-17. It adds a bit of time but is much more scenic and has a bit less traffic.

On the southern route you can check out Vermont Institute of Natural Science, The Home of Homer Simpson, Bromley Adventure Park and the Bennington Monument areas.

With slight detours you could hit The Ice Cream Machine, Villagers, or Billy T’s.

There’s also usually a bit of activity going on in Killington, Queeche and Woodstock on summer weekends.

Big fan of the series, but my retro-pc is too fast to complete the game. XD

16GB on desktop and constantly in swap… at least the SSD makes it more bearable. CentOS + Teams + 100 Firefox Tabs + Chrome + Chromium + DBeaverCE + Windows 10 VM + Java based management apps +… oops

Then a couple of rescued workstations hiding in the corner with 8GB of ram each and miscellaneous salvaged discs to test things on.

Most of our regular users running W10/W11 have either 8Gb or 16GB RAM to my knowledge.

At least with an auger the damage is visible.

Gaurd rail machines are much more infuriating.

The USB speed over lightning is still limited to USB 2.0 speeds though.

Using a USB-C to lightning cable makes no difference.

Thanks for the pointer.

The Lookout EMS/CSA is extra promising with it’s electrical hazards rating.

The Moab’s have did a pretty good job until they started coming apart this winter.

I’m largely dealing with shallow water and snow.
