several VMs have suddenly quit working, in VBox.
by Fred Smith 02 Dec '19

02 Dec '19

Hi all! I have several VMs, all in virtualbox 6.0.14 and all the VBOX add-ons are up to date. I don't use them daily, last used any of them probably 4-6 weeks ago, pretty sure it was already running 6.0.14 by that time. they were all fine when last used. Two of them are C7, one is a clone of the other, and the other is C8. each seems to have different symptoms. the C7 clone claims there is no initramfs, no matter which kernel I try to boot.

CLAMD and EXIM - anyone got it working`
by Gary Stainburn 01 Dec '19

01 Dec '19

Has anyone actually got CLAMD and EXIM working? I've just had a go on a new VPS server without success. The only thing that happened was that my server slowed because clamd was hogging CPU. I have done a lot of googling and all I found was a couple of howto's that said the same thing, and my questions from 2015 which is the last time I tried this. I can get clamd / freshclam etc installed, although from the two howto's I worked from I had to edit / create service files and edit config files. However, I still do not manage to get a clamd.exim socket created on my system.

External HD partitioning & formatting considerations
by Nicolas Kovacs 01 Dec '19

Hi, One of my clients has a mixed Linux/Mac OS/Windows environment in his office. He just purchased a 4 TB external hard disk, which he intends to use on his various workstations. Up until recently, I've been using plain old MBR/FAT for hard disks in mixed environments. Fire up fdisk, make one big 0b type partition, and then format it using mkdosfs. Unfortunately, there's a 2 TB limit to that. Of course, I could still use a GPT partition, but then I'd still have to format it using a "common denominator" filesystem, e. g. FAT... which is also limited to 2 TB as far as I know. So what now? Use Windows 10 to format the disk using NTFS? This, Windows and Linux could use it, and I'd have to check if Mac OS can manage NTFS file systems. A few years ago, it didn't. Any suggestions?
