On the off-chance that you're serious, the configuration of freefall is at: http://www.freebsd.org/machines.html I doubt that the disks or controllers are bad, and if I had to swap out the pieces I felt most likely to be causing the problems I'd probably do just the motherboard, CPU and memory (getting a newer, faster PII to replace the PPro which is there now) and migrate the other components over. Of course, freefall is also something of a critical resource and so taking it down for this kind of extended period is always a really nasty prospect, plus there are a number of aged drives in there which could probably stand an upgrade themselves. So, I guess if I were faced with a _really_ generous donor, I'd go for a complete new system with some of the newer high-capacity SCSI WIDE drives in there to minimize heat which, for freefall, is considerable (and plans better to air-condition the machine room are stalled pending the owner of Walnut Creek CDROM's actually buying the right equipment). Then I'd migrate services over more slowly rather than just abruptly turning the old box off, moving all the old drives over and hoping for the best. That's what I'd do if I had a really generous donor, yes. ;-) - Jordan > In article <12820.901096075@time.cdrom.com> you write: > >Send me a new box then. > > > > Tell me what specification, and I'll have one flown in. > > --WjW > > > -- > Internet Access Eindhoven BV., voice: +31-40-2 393 393, data: +31-40-2 606 6 06 > P.O. 928, 5600 AX Eindhoven, The Netherlands > Full Internet connectivity for only fl 12.95 a month. > Call now, and login as 'new'.
