I haven't used this in a production fashion of course but it does seem like a solid machine.

2024-01-17 15:40:50 +0000 UTCI ran racks of M2s and M3s a few years ago in a cluster running RHEL 5. I remember them taking forever to startup but once they were on they were golden.

2024-01-11 19:28:55 +0000 UTCInteresting to see there's an OS on the drives. I would've tried the trick with setting init to /bin/sh if the version of GRUB that's on there lets you edit the boot entry.
