    Does Hyper-V Dynamic Memory work with Linux?

    I am trying to spec out a few lighter use VMs. I searched and it seems like there is conflicting information on if it works or not. Some technet articles say if you turn it on it pegs you at 100% cpu utilization.

    Multi-interface server box feasibility

    Hey all, I'm kinda thinking about doing something different. I have a few different servers (~6) at home. I also have a completely eclectic mix of network cards. 40gb IB, 10 gig SFP and Cat6, 56GB IB/ 40G Ethernet QSFP+. Each interface I've gotten over time but usually only 2-3 cards each...

    Supermicro H8DCL-iF crashes randomly with strange kernel messages

    Not much on them. Yobitech Reviews - yobitech.com/ Ratings at ResellerRatings One is scary. I'd figure most vendors will have at least a few positive reviews they give themselves

    BThunderW's Hardware Stuff

    Thanks for the replies! iirc Fore10 had the S50 and S50n. I think the n version had management software and the ability to do IPv6? Any idea which you have? Great data points on noise. Always a concern with basement rack

    BThunderW's Hardware Stuff

    Great pictures! I do have two questions though: 1. What are you using all of this for? 2. Are those car batteries? How does that work? I would imagine cheaper than buying more from APC.

    PXE Boot Process - Understanding what is going on

    Don't you need to set up a TFTP server? Also I think there is a bunch on the router side. Oh - maybe you just meant the PXE process from the client end. Think you may be right then.

    Time for new RAID card....

    The HP P410 and P411 will work no issues. Areca 188x cards work. Also I hear LSI cards work. Think the HP SAS expander is a PMC Sierra based expander. If so, likely that the newer Adaptecs would work. One thought is getting a HP card for the flashing. I think Patrick had one in the FS thread...

    Quietest Rackmount Server - Non-Atom

    TY cactus. Do all RPC-470s have mounts for 120s? I thought they have 80mm which are louder. Is there anything bigger than the 4U cooler that works? Is the airflow from that cooler the correct direction in the Norco? Anyone have other thoughts? TY again cactus
