Duplicating our success
August 13, 2008 |
Over the week we’ve gotten the trouble machine (a vm) to use both processors and a scad of memory without much increase in performance, as far as we can tell. To boot the duplicator software install want 10Gb of free space- more than we had anticpated (note to self: RTM next time) So this week we’ll focus on building a new trouble machine that uses the host file system directly on a partition of > 10Gb. Then we can start test production of DVDs!
While that’s busy chugging away we’ll run cable to extend the fax line for the ADSL connection upstairs to the server room - a consolidation move. Anthony put forward the idea of putting our untangle (firewall/router/…) install on a vm with two dedicated host NICs. I like the idea, so pondering the idea.
