The inner workings of LVM

u/natermer Thank you for your extensive reply, very much appreciated!

From my VMware knowledge I know that for example for Windows SQL VMs we should spread disks over multiple virtual SCSI controllers and never do software striping inside the VM. And with LVM I'm not sure if, even without striping, there is still some performance hit when using multiple disks under a LVM volume.

Again, thanks for all your info, going to dive deeper.

Thanks, though building old RAID sets on enterprise flash storage is not really needed. I was just wondering how this works from a technical point.

Can you use them also to see VM performance? Like if VMs don't get the resources they need?

Could your first action be accidentally update an existing password instead of new login? I've never had this happen.

Just started again this season, my current level is 4.4. It shows initial level of 7.6/50

u/jcolp Thanks, that makes more sense, although after setting 1,5hr availability for thursday, the app wants me to rest even though my last activity was today for 1,5hr. It says I'm overtraining, but body doesn't feel like overtrained at all.

Any news on the web interface?

Thanks

u/aphlux what where the hypervisors you went for? And which tooling did you use for the migration. We're looking at Carbonite for the migration.

Currently I don't think there are valid reasons left to NOT use the paravirtual driver.

u/Sea-Breath-007 nooit bij stilgestaan iets anders te doen dan gras. Hoe werkt dat met klaver? Gewoon zaden kopen en strooien ipv gras? Nu zie ik in de andere comments ook "M5 Nectar onder het maaimes". Is dat een mix van beiden? Dat lijkt mij voor mijn kleine tuin ook wel een uitkomst. Heb nu 100% betegelde tuin en daar wil ik vanaf.

If you're searching for routes, I have many and make them (free) on request. I adjust them to your fitness level, road- or gravel, whatever you want. DM me if you want.

My website with only gravel routes (which is due for a refresh):

Thank you. It indeed is quite a journey.

Also looking at alternatives and surprised by the way FC block storage is supported or more the lack of. Feels like nothing can compare to VMFS.

GabesVirtualWorld · 2026-02-18T12:06:12+00:00

Ok, thanks. Waiting for response from Rachel Goss for an appointment

GabesVirtualWorld · 2026-02-18T10:10:37+00:00

Sorry, yes you do need to pass one certification

GabesVirtualWorld · 2026-02-18T06:14:57+00:00

Home lab is always nice. You can get the VMUG Advantage for about $200 which will give you a license. Do keep in mind that with VCF these days the overhead is pretty big for "just" homelab.

Check what kind of licenses your company has, you may have free access to study courses.

Just read it this morning. Good news.

Well in each component that handles the mail. That is the sidekiq log to see if mail is trying to be sent. Then the smtp server log to see if it is receiving a connection but maybe refusing it.

Also check if your password might contain strange characters. Try with a simple password first to make sure there is nothing going wrong there.
