I suggest you check dmesg for clues.

Have you tried deactivating and (re) activating the group with the 
lvmchange command?


secondly... have been using Synergy for several years as a KVM... 
with windows 10 I had to upgrade to the last version... going back to 
the 1.5 version (worked fine with Win7) is not an option as there are 
issues with the shift key... the main problem is I can't get the SSL 
to work... have had many emails with Symless that tend to be a one 
sided conversation so aside from an update at some point I do not 
expect any help from them... they include TLS 1.2 in their software 
 previously to Win 10 the SSL worked fine and even in ver 1.5 on 
win 10 it worked ok just hoping someone may have a suggestion to 
get the SSL connecting between client and server or have heard of 
issues with win10 and SSL


You ramble about lots of issues.  Focus on specifics of what you tried 
and what error response you got, so folks maybe can advise you


Virtualbox seems to enjoy much success on Windows!?

Hi there, it looks like you got some excellent hardware advice. I

looking more at https://nextcloud.com/


They are the original developers and have forked the project

For a family operation you really can do plenty with a core duo and 
little ram, we stream and do all sorts on the relic I use with no 
issues at all.

Hi All,

I am not sure if the list is dead or not or people are just
hellabusy. In the hopes of stirring up some conversation I
figured I would throw this out there.

I am looking to deploy OwnCloud at home.  Likely looking at a 2TB
space as that is more then I have needed over the last couple
years & I don't see that increasing anytime soon.  I was thinking
of using CentOS as the base, more to get used to it & try to
learn more of the RHEL environment.

I also see this acting as a domain controller, server, etc. for
the house & my small business.  We are also trying to reduce our
power footprint as well to lower utilities as well as potentially
preparing for being off-grid & perhaps being reliant on solar or
similar.

I have done some rough pricing out & it like for a system of 8 to
16 GB of RAM; an i5 or i7 processor & a 2TB disk the price for
something off shelf or custom built is between 700 to 1000.  I
have looked at desktops, laptops, mini-systems, etc.

Now as an alternative I have an old Dell OptiPlex 745 (I think)
SFF desktop with a Core 2 Duo; 2GB of RAM (currently) & a 60GB
HDD.  Looking at rough prices for a few hundred (2-300'ish) I can
upgrade it to a 2TB drive & 8 GB of RAM.  I do also have a
powered & non-powered 2TB external drive as well as an old
DNS-323 NAS with mirrored 2 TB drives.

I am open to suggestions on if you think the OptiPlex solution is
a good one for what I am doing right now & say the next few years
or if I would be better plumping for one of the $700 to $1000
solutions.  If that route, what would be reasonable to invest in.

Therethat should do it.  Hopefully it will stir up some
conversation.  :-)
