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

I 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.

yeah I'm thinking if there's any more interesting stuff I'll at least have a follow up here!

If you end up imaging it, any chance of us taking a look? 👀👀

Joe

clabretro

I yelled for joy when that beast fired up! Great job!

Chookie

Haha same. It's stayin' up there.

Yeah I'll mount those with a live CD or something later! I couldn't get it to boot from USB and I was running out of steam haha

clabretro

The wall mount is so good, love it! 😂

Interesting 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.
