hello friends. The future is here.. NOW! thank fuck xmas is over and now begins the struggle of fitting into work clothes again and having to remember the new date.. I have a new found love for linux as its my primary work OS (even though almost everything is done inside a windows XP VM). other than that there is nothing to report.. i still want to do a complete reload of this server but that will take some time and i dont know when i will have enough in 1 block to get it all done.. most if not all of my spare time is taken up by bf3 atm.. when that will wear off i dont know.. once i hit level 45? almost there!
what happened?
physical server rebuild went without a hitch. didnt bother with the original plan of reinstalling the OS. just moved everything to the desktop, flicked the switch (no downtime). rebuilt the server into a new case (with fans!). moved everything back, flicked another switch.. and woo its done! you didnt even notice did you. more to come…
server rebuild
Going to rebuild the server into a new case with better airflow and more room for HDD’s instead of having them hanging out the side. The issue being there are no case fans. the HDD’s were stacked 6 high ontop of each other and got very hot. Specialy the Raid drives. dont want 8TB to suddently catch fire and cause a china syndrome type effect. over the next week or 2 i will be moving all of the current VM’s and websites into Virtual machines on my desktop, there shouldnt be any downtime at all (fingers crossed). Once that has been completed i will shutdown the main server and rebuild her.. then slowly move everything back. i will keep you posted on here of all and any changes.
clean slate
deleted all the old posts.. they were useless anyway. Im going to shutdown this site at some stage..
