[ahimsa-tech] new virtual box arrived

[jeff moe]

Ok, so the box has physically arrived. I believe bame plans to mount it in the 
cabinet in the coming week or so. Then I'll pop in the OS and do some initial 
setup.

These are the sites that may be moved:
59G     custom/nimiq
1.7G    custom/portugal
2.2G    dada/colorado
224M    dada/prague
4.4G    dada/wmass
3.0G    dada/wmass-devel
1.3G    sf-active/andorra
348M    sf-active/antwerpen
22M     sf-active/bolivia-devel
51G     sf-active/italy
876M    sf-active/kenya
2.5G    sf-active/marseille
834M    sf-active/ovl
3.8M    sf-active/shared
2.5G    sf-active/uruguay
454M    sf-active/wvl
1.8G    spip/nantes
2.0G    spip/nice

That's about 130G or so. The box has two 146G drives--this includes the OS.

The purpose of this box is speed, not necessarily reliability, so i may stripe 
the drives together too. :)  Backups can be periodically rsync'd over to disko 
(NFS server).

The biggest dynamic site is easily italy. Moving them off the NFS box would 
lessen it's load quite a bit. I'm not sure who I should talk to about that. 
Anyone on this list? :)

video.indymedia.org (nimiq) is quite big too in terms of diskspace, but it also 
has far fewer far larger files.  Does video.indy need fast disks for anything? 
Any plans to do transcoding or anything like that?

In theory, perhaps we could even plop a mir prod server on there, to have a 
standby server for that. We'll look at that more down the road though.

Anyway, if your site is on the above list and you want to see it run faster 
sooner, contact me. :)

Oh, and we need to name it...hmm.....
