Greetings All;
Due to the simultainious failure of a pair of 2T seacrates, spinning
rust, which p'd me off so bad there is now only one spinning rust drive
left here at the Heskett Ranchete's 8 or 9 machine network.
So I've been out of the amanda users category for a couple years.
So here's a description of what I am building:
A 5 drive slot bare drive cage, top slot occupied by a bpi-m5 running a
full desktop armbian install, but headless.
Slots 2 & 3 will be occupied by a pair of 4T SSD's and a pair of 2T
gigastone SSD's for 12T worth of vtapes.
the 4th slot will have at least one, maybe 2, 1T samsung SSD's. Or 2
mote 2T gigastones since I have them
two separate subdirs on each of these 2 drives, one for amandas database
on 1 drive, and a copy on the other drive, done by rsync as the second
line of the cron trigger'd nightly amanda backup and 2nd dir on each as
a 2 drive lvm for a holding disk.
This will all run on a 5V10A psu in slot 5. A 7 port usb3 hub glued to
the side of the drive cage and startech usb-3 to sata-III adapters will
complete the wiring mess. One cat5 connected to the bpi-m5 & plugged
into my main net switch. The amanda will be the arm64 version from the
debian bookworm repos.
So get out your anti-aircraft battery's and shoot me down! What did I
miss IOW?
Yeah, thru the magic of the cath lab at WVU-Ruby, I am still here, doing
my thing with 3d printers these days, and my next b-day if I make it to
October will be my 90th.
Many thanks, take care, stay warm and well everyone.
Cheers, Gene Heskett, CET.
