is happens on drives where GPT is used instead of MBR. This may be something you want to make note of.  I guess it changes the way grub sees it or something.  Anyway, it worked fine after that so may be worth making a note of in case one of you ever needs it.  Dale :-)  :-)  P.

people have it installed, likely billions.  I do wonder, can one still put things like memtest, Knoppix and such in that thing?  I'm sure it can be done but never seen it mentioned.  I started to put it on the old 770T but didn't now that I have that Ventoy USB thing.  It's going to be a while before I have to do this.  I still haven't found a mobo.  Not one I really like anyway.  Dale :-)  :-)

ch difference in price between the two, depending on who I buy from.  There are some good deals for used but I'm kinda leery about used.  You never know if they overclocked it and ran it to hot or something and it shorten its life.  One thing tho, different CPU socket, different mobo is needed.  Gotta start my research over again.  ;-) Hardest thing is finding mobo with several PCIe slots.  They have cut way back on those.  Dale :-)  :-)

it, older 770T NAS box does not.  That could be a bottleneck.  Maybe.  Eventually, I'll get this all sorted.  Fireball may become the NAS box thingy.  New rig would be my main system.  Maybe.  Hard to say right now.  There will be a new rig for my main system but not sure on rest.  o_O One thing I did learn about LVM.  I hooked the drives I had on the old Dell to the 770T and it saw the LVM drives setup right away.  I just used cryptsetup as usual and off it went.  I've never did that before.  Works just like a regular drive.  :-D  Nifty.
