#VMFS
one of the vmfs in the leak was this weird f-stop intro and corehub intro hybrid map called "p2_lab_start", at the end of TC19 it has all these portal guns that imply how many ppl died in the firepit at the end of test chamber 19.

glados wasn't lying, these things do withstand high heat

So did all the maps VMFs get leaked?
Did the retail ones get leaked as well?

Ay, I found downloads for the leaks. I could've seen them yesterday but I just missed them apparently:

What all is currently leaked: linkh.at/lolleak

Maps recompiled from leaked VMFs: linkh.at/lolleak_reco...

(linkhat is a thing i use to shorten long links, they just lead to discord downloads)

i just think its extremely fascinating how much of portal 2's development we know of now. like almost everything from late 2007 (F-STOP Directed Design Experiment) to early 2011 (proto retail) has been leaked by this point. Like the fact that the leaked FSTOP maps are VMFs ant not BSPs mean that we

get a lot of information that we wouldnt have otherwise if it was just BSPs (compiled maps) that got leaked in a completed build like all the portal 2 betas from two months back. because the FSTOP maps are VMFs instead we get to not only see the build date but also any usused visgroups as well !!!!!

Bitte kein AI Slop, bitte kein AI Slop… 🙏

cetrafs is a clustered, shared-disk filesystem for Linux. Several hypervisors mount the same iSCSI or Fibre Channel LUN at once and keep their VM disk images directly on it, coordinating through the storage itself. It is an open alternative to VMFS.

Investigation Scenario 🔎

While reviewing the ESXi hostd.log, an analyst spots a network file connection referencing a known VM disk, but at an unexpected path different from where it typically runs from:

/vmfs/volumes/BackupDS/temp/Finance01.vmdk

any vmware experts around? installed esxi5 over esx told it to save vmfs but can’t find it :)

Hey, I am running 5 x Dell Optiplex 7060s, spec in image below as well as ESXi version 8.0. Virtual Center lives as a VM on this cluster.

The old NETGEAR ReadyNAS 716 Unit is providing 2-3TB of VMFS over iSCSI and NFS shared storage. (likely the next investment to upgrade/change)

Anything else?

fun fact: VMFs are not in KeyValues format, they just have a similar syntax

Ever had to recover a 20 TB vmfs structure on an old VM ESXi? Let me tell you it’s a nightmare but possible just don’t delete the data…

Back to Console development; hope to get the easy card Ethernet config done.

Adding more logic/tagging. It’s the base of any type of network, it’s important.
