Any CDROM / floppy drive you can lose to create space
for another disk?
(just watch out for heat issues though)
I believe the CDROM could be absconded
with. I'd have to check. Heat
shouldn't be too much of a problem... as I recall that system has one of
those horizontal "squirrelcage" type blowers in it and it moves some serious
air!
The floppy drive in that case is a slim-line unit, can't put in a regular
size one.
We were given a 1U server recently (which seems to
have a crack in the
motherboard somewhere making it unreliable, so it's probably heading for
More
thoughts makes me think the classiccmp server has two drives in it. One
for OS & addon software, and the other (160gb) for hosting the classic
computer related websites and ftp sites. I would bet there's not room for a
third. Hummm....
(and not even then if the server's on linux and
you do a network
install)
*cough* The server is FreeBSD (which certainly supports network
installations).
How much disk space does the system need, anyway?
Ok just checked remotely... there is a 20gb drive for OS & apps & misc
stuff, then a 160gb drive for websites & ftp sites (and mailing list files).
The OS disk is roughly half used, and the data disk is roughly 35% used. I
have a ton of HP stuff to put on it though and some other stuff I won't
mention publicly (but it's classic computer related), so fairly soon we'll
be using about 1/2 the 160gb drive.
