Converting a virtual IDE disk to a virtual SCSI disk (1016192)

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/09/11

Just in case I have a VM with only IDE disks of which one ore more need to become SCSI disks: [WayBack] Converting a virtual IDE disk to a virtual SCSI disk (1016192)

TL;DR

  1. Add one SCSI disk
  2. Install drivers for it and get it recognised
  3. When the VM is shutdown:
    1. Modify the disk description of the IDE disk to SCSI (hack) or
    2. (often easier) remove the disk, then attach it to the SCSI controller

I wonder what the state of monoliths versus microservices is right now. Likely somewhere in the middle of SOA and Client/Server (:

CppCon 2015: Niall Douglas โ€œRacing The File System” – YouTube

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/09/09

Cool presentation on avoiding data races and race conditions when doing file system operations. It includes lots of conceptual and API suggestions on many operating systems (explaining what works where and why not), plus locking tips.

Biggest takeaway for me: always use handles to any object, and avoid static paths like a bad flue.

Well worth watching!

The slides are atย [WayBack] CppCon2015/Racing the Filesystem – Niall Douglas – CppCon 2015.pdf at master ยท CppCon/CppCon2015 ยท GitHub
