Hi kraileth, glad to read from you. How are you ? Hopefully you have recovered your illness. Yes, I'm fine, thanks! Just really low on time right now due to various things (I tried to hop on IRC for about a week now but missed it every single evening). we never tough about going to FreeBSD-stable. ...

Totally agree that this was not a moment of glory for FreeBSD... I was also hit by that problem again. However: There are different assumptions about what stable means and it's probably not a good term at all. In case of FreeBSD branches "stable" is actually less stable than "release&...

Right now running synth to reconstruct the ccaches and distfiles.

kraileth, you have PM.

Thanks! I'll have a look at it on the weekend.

i will not rewrote this because all is clear now, OK from here I have a couple option, since the machine me and ASX want is not available right now. What would be the preferred option that is not available right now? Just curious. But there is couple temporary solution the is similar machine to our...

Now that was quick!

Ok. Just power the current one off when you're done and tell me. Then I can decommission it and shred the drives.

kraileth, what is the cost of the additional RAM ? I couldn't find any used ECC unbuffered/unregistered RAM. You can easily get 32 GB ECC REG for way below 100€, but for unregistered RAM of that amount, it's usually 400€ new. Found one offer for a bit more than 300. I assume that my boss would acce...

Makes sense. Well, if it looks like the machine doesn't really live up to the project's needs it might be a good idea to cancel the whole thing early before putting too much more effort into it. I offered the machine hoping that it would work well for the task it's meant to do. A whole lot of things...

ASX: Thanks for your answers (and for all the experiments you are doing!). As for your question about hw. improvement: nothing, the point is that we need to grow up all resources (CPU. RAM, disk I/O) and I'm not sure that spending money on the current machine is the right thing to do. Ok, so current...

ASX: Looks like you did some more experiments (judging from the other thread). Just tell me when there's a building break so I can do a reboot and take a look at the BIOS settings. It also looks like you're trying to find out what the best way to use the SSD is. What is your feeling about that right...
