    VMWare Workstation performing far worse than expected

    Hopefully some of you smart people can figure this out. I have a reasonably powerful PC that I am running a fairly simple Windows 10 VM on. It's just Windows 10, Office, and Slack to isolate all my pandemic work activities. Machine specs: Threadripper 1950X, 128 GB ECC, and 2x1TB 970 EVO+ in...

    HDMI Detective and HDMI 2.0/4k60?

    I have a new LG 49UB8500 that I picked up on the MicroCenter special. I've been waiting for a ~50" 4k60 single stream below $1,000 so it was time to bite. I'm running it off a GTX 960 on HDMI 2.0 so I'm getting 3840x2160 @ 60hz with full chroma - Life is basically good. I was even pleasantly...

    How long do your ESXi machines take to boot?

    I am getting rather annoyed at how long my home ESXi machine takes to boot. It's 30+ minutes, maybe more like 45. 90% of that time is spent at one line: s.v00. I've found lots of references on google to crashing during boot on s.v00, but very little reference to what it actually is or why it...

    Anyone had any luck doing VMDirectPath with ICH10 SATA ports?

    I've hit a bit of a roadblock on my new ESXi machine. I am passing through two IBM BR10i controllers to my NexentaStor VM without issue. In my test installs all drives are seen, performance is as expected, etc. For my final installation I planned to pass the ICH10 SATA ports in and use a...

    Tyan S7025 IPMI login/pwd?

    Anybody have any idea what the default IPMI/iKVM login is for a Tyan S7025? I've found some Tyan documentation for other boards that suggests root/superuser but that's not working. I can't find any documentation anywhere in the box or their website. I've configured the IP in the BIOS and it's...

    Simple 7 Q: How do I change ownership of multiple files at once?

    I recently wiped my machine and upgraded from XP x64 to 7 Ultimate x64. I'm now having difficulty accessing some of the data on my storage drives. I want to force ownership changes on all files on the drives to resolve any lingering traces of my previous machine/security accounts. The problem...

    Cheap RAID enclosure (pics + review in progress)

    After months of indecision I finally placed an order for my new RAID storage system. I particularly agonized over the cost difference between a hot-swappable SAS compatible enclosure and the (much cheaper) non hot-swappable, SATA only models. I finally decided on the non hot-swappable since the...
