    reduce vm size

    in VM Engine (KVM)

    Posted

    yes, mount the iso like you would when installing windows and tell it to make the partition smaller, similar to what you would do with a physical disk.

     

    After that, you will write zeros to the empty space and truncate the disk.

    help! cant start any vm

    in VM Engine (KVM)

    one thing I often like to do when troubleshooting something is remove any and all extras, take the vm config to bare bones, use vnc, dont pass any hardware, just the drives, vnc and iso if you are installing.

     

    make things as basic as possible and see if it will boot.  I find that passing a bunch of things and troubleshooting a complex config is more difficult when trying to pick the one thing that might be the issue.  Instead, strip it all out, boot it and see what happens.  If it still fails, maybe reboot unraid and create a new simple config.

     

    After you get the basic system working, pass your first piece of hardware, go slow and when you crash the car, report what the last change was.  this way, you can isolate the actual cause as opposed to picking one potential cause out of 20.

    Is there anyone here that can help piotrasd with this squash and rebase stuff?  I have zero knowledge of of any of this.

     

    @piotrasd please drop @1721dbd then rebase and squash commits

     

    The OE devs want the 9p stuff removed and then a rebase/squash.

     

    piotrasd's changes have been merged into Master!  :D

     

    merged commit 90ea1a4 into OpenELEC:master 2 days ago

     

    What does this mean to us?

    Replacing flash

    in Hardware

    Posted

    Just wanted to ask if it is worth buying a new compact SanDisk flash per hardware recommendation or if a Kingston usb is good enough.

     

    Had a crucial till now without issue and it wasn't on the list,  but still thought to ask if there is "real"  benefit to using the flash listed.

     

    Obviously they can't list them all,  so I would like to think Kingston is in the good enough camp. If not,  I'll just order a new one.

     

    Thanks

    Are you sure there isn't a write protect switch on it? Not usually but I have seen this "feature".

     

    If you can't format it then get another one.

    Yeah,  no switch,  seems jacked.  I pulled my config and am working to get a replacement+key

     

    Seems the best route.

    I know things are broken when every time my server boots, it wants to check parity because the last check it ran is not logged.

     

    Is there any way to confirm my flash is really borked?  Just checking before starting the process to replace my key.

    Emby + kodi VS mysql + kjodi heqdless

    I think there is a way to sync status via trakt now, but could be wrong.

     

    For me though, the big plus for emby is the ability to fix mis-tagged shows.  Open metadata manager, update imdb ID, refresh data, done.  For kodi you are messing with nfo files.

     

    As for plex, I was trying to get plexbmc to work, but didnt like the integration and I liked kodi and its support for devices like an rpi and cubox.  If plex had this native support, it would certainly have a chance.

    could I have a bad USB?  I mean could it have just randomly gone bad?  I even went as far as trying to format it without luck.  Only other option is a live cd into gparted to try and format.

     

    this sucks.  All started when unraid was trying to unmount shares.  was stuck unmounting for 30 minutes before I killed it manually.

    Yes, or you can try rebooting your server as we attempt to repair issues with flash drives automatically during the boot process.

     

    well, thats not good.  Tried to do check disk from windows.  It says there are errors, but cannot fix them because write protect is on.

    Is this a case where I need to pull the flash drive check it on a windows box?
