Could you add this host to the DB for my upcoming Beirut-based cluster. Will do. Still a little weird if you talk with MIM looking at known nodes, though. Yeah there's probably quite a few node names in Area 8 that could be deleted, I'll have a look and send you a list..

Yeah.. I can't even use my 6 146GB SAS drives.. thin provisioning and text files have gone a long way there... it causes me stress to try to keep it all archived and indexed... :-p On Wed, Jan 23, 2013 at 8:42 AM, Cory Smelosky <b4 at gewt.net> wrote: On 23 Jan 2013, at 08:01, Joe Ferraro <jferraro at gmail.com> wrote: At this post-rate, you may need to move the list-archive to Sampsa's 12TB data-warehouse (... errrr 6TB if he's *wasting* disk on R10 :) )....

Three white box Alpha's will run VMS along with NT 4: the Digital Server 3300, 5305 and the 7305. The modification is found on home.zonnet.nl/hvlems and look for White Box Alpha's.
