In future can you please not turn off the mains supply on colo machines - 
just hit the power button on the front. Some of the machines, such as 
pomona, have remote management consoles so they can be turned back on by 
those of us who can't always make it into the clubroom...but they do need 
mains to work.

I took down mooneye and put two "new" disks in it this evening. They still 
need adding to the array - I can do that at about 10pm tonight unless 
somebody else wants to - just let me know on irc or something.

/home didn't mount when it booted - somebody might want to look into that, 
or at least be aware of it when the machine is next rebooted.

We still have several 146GB and 300GB SCSI disks, so no dramas there.

Sounds sensible, though I'd wait for someone else ( [*OX] ? ) to chime
in.

We can't get the 32x2.5" case from them, they're offering the 12x3.5"
case, but no, that's not what we want.

Wasn't there a case with a few 5.25" slots? and some 4*2.5" mounts into
a 5.25" drive bay adaptor? Like this?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817994095
ICY DOCK ToughArmor MB994SP-4S Full Metal 4 x 2.5" SAS/SATA 6Gb/s
SSD/HDD Hot Swap Mobile Rack Backplane Cage Module for 5.25" Bay (Fits
7, 9.5, 12.5, 15mm height drive)

Happy to do USA mail forwarding, if it helps.

There's $12 "Silverstone 3.5 to 2 x 2.5 Drive Bay Converter Black" - not
hotswap, just a metal bracket.

Nick.

Ryan Hall [HTL] here:

There appears to be an issue with the windows 8 machine powering off randomly; it boots op fine, but either before or after logging in it has a tenancy to lose power without warning.
One of the case fans isn't working, and the PSU is heating up really quickly, so I'm suspecting an issue with the PSU, but I can't open the case to find out.

Anyone able to look at this? /dev/sda is an SSD, not sure if it can be 
hotswapped. Otherwise means taking all our VMs down (sigh).

Yes it is being looked in to (see last committee minutes re. purchase of 
new SSD). It should be hot-swappable too!
