@coliver IMHO, every new version was a major improvement over its predecessor. Vista with UAC, Win8 had great new features behind the scenes (yeah, don't like the GUI too) and 10 is just great, apart from being naked when it comes to privacy.

About that tech: Well, everyone should have an opinion

In laymen terms please describe "naked when it comes to privacy".

I'm talking about default privacy settings of windows 10. Smartscreen filtering, usage stats, Ad-ID, text-suggestions, geolocation for websites and so on - basically everything what you need to explicitly turn off in windows privacy settings during / post-install.

I'm aware that there are differences between the insider preview and the normal windows update channel and it really depends on your point of you - I'm not comfortable with an OS that is calling home for other things than updates. But that is just my very own point of view.

People hate Win10, they hated Win8.1, 8.0, 7 SP1, 7, Vista, XP, 2000, NT3.51, ME, 98 SE, 98, 95, 3.11, 3.1, 3.0, 2.0... probably even 1.0. But all of a sudden, they are using it.

Just about to get into the car and start driving to the train station. I'll likely be offline for a while, no power of wifi on the train, I imagine.

No power, no wifi ...

Good evening. I'm Doctor Scott Alan Miller and I'm standing here in the parking lot at Twin Pines Mall. It is Saturday morning, October 26, 1985, 1:18 A.M. and this is temporal experiment number one. Please note that Einstein's clock is in precise synchronization with my control watch.

@garak0410 Well, as long as you don't wake up one day only to find out your cat turned into an Egyptian bald cat...

Here's a hint, don't type yes and forget to pipe it into something or you will have to force exit your session and open it again.

# rm -rf --no-preserve-root . /

@hobbit666 There should a proper way to export/import. If all else fails... there's still good old rsync

According to Citrix that is the way to do it. Export as OVF then import.

Can't help here, never really used XS - another thing on my you-need-to-check-that-out-list. Damn, need to get another box of continuous paper for my printer

Anyway, like I said, there are loads of tutorials for moving Linux to a new "disk" using rsync. Should work without issues as long as the kernel is somehow generic.

At the moment the system appears to just be progressing through the blk_update_request with I/O errors for individual sectors on XVDA.

Should I abort this operation and find a replacement drive? Is it worth it to let this continue?

Hard to say. Real data on it? Would try to get a last backup first before doing filesystem operations.

MD RAID 10 is configured on this box for the storage space. So I can check that as well.

Should be the very first thing to check.

md status degraded? SMART status? Could also be a dying spindle.
Filesystem remounted ro (should be in case something goes south)?

@marcinozga Thanks, but already tried net.inet.ip.fastforwarding in all combinations with TCP and UDP.
