So the questions would then be:
* Can we upgrade the memory?
Yes. I have another box hat I don't use anymore (story about water
cooling and leakage) with 1GB RAM that could be installed into Aussie.
Ah... always good with "extra" information, think I'll stay away from
water cooling on my next machine then.
* What kind of RAM does it take?
* What kind of HDD could we add to it?
IDE
There is a mirror setup currently, but I don't trust it anymore.
I am not sure that we really need more disk, but the partitioning needs
to change. And the disks are old, so they should be changed as well...
Size of disks from 'df -h' (only the large parts):
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/md2 1G 313M 644M 33% /
/dev/md4 61G 25G 33G 44% /home
/dev/md1 9.7G 2.2G 7.0G 25% /usr
/dev/md3 2.0G 1.7G 265M 87% /var
== 74G
So currently the disk(s) are roughly 2 x 74 GB with about (2x) 25GB free.
I checked on dustin.se, and we could get 2 x 80 GB for about 70 EUR. I'm
sure we could get old HDDs donated to the project, but it's probably safer
to get brand new HDDs instead. If the fund doesn't cover this, I'll donate
the money. Normally I'd get larger disks when upgrading, but I guess that
with 25 GB available, we really don't need more space.
* Is it practially possible for us to do this? Does anyone have physical
access?
That is the grit of it... I have physical access if I want. Just have to
make an appointment with trolltech. I havent seen the box since before
they changed offices.
Do you have the time/energy/willingness to do this? If the answer is
yes, within what time frame?
Best regards (and nice to hear from you again!)
