Added disk space and hypervisor guidelines.
# Don't create public services.
# These machines are never backed up. Backup your own stuff, frequently.
= Disk Space =
Keep an eye on disk space -- both your own usage and the free space on the machine. Delete stuff you don't need (especially temp files and build debris).
Most of the CDOT machines have unassigned storage within their volume group. If you need additional space in a filesystem and know how to use LVM safely, feel free to allocate additional space as needed, but do not assign more space than required for your work (it's easier to add space to a filesystem than to remove it to add it to another filesystem). '''If you do not know how to administer LVM safely, ask an experienced user to add space to the filesystem for you -- it's very easy to destroy a filesystem.''' Please experiment with and learn about LVM on your own systems or in a virtual machine.
= Virtual Machines =
Please feel free to configure KVM virtual machines on the PCs. Because virtualization technologies conflict, please discuss the use of other hypervisors before deploying them.
= Connectivity Status =
