(You might notice the damned screws are FLATHEAD. These were 1/2” 6-32 screws I already had, but being flathead they’re obviously garbage. The screws I ordered today are 1/2” 6-32 Phillips and as I un/re-mount units for testing, I’ll replace their screws.)

I’ve attached all the components!! Currently that means only 4 cluster nodes with empty slots for 2 more. This is SO exciting, it looks how I planned it and everything is solid... even with some mistakes, the plan worked!!

Yeah, I guess I never actually laid out the end goal here. Gonna be a lizardfs cluster made of odroid HC2 nodes. The idea is that it’ll be easy to add/upgrade storage by just adding/replacing a node.

Right now all my time is going into getting components laid out and connected up, which has involved learning a bunch of new things as I’d never used tools like a dremel before

Well, I started this as an experiment, thinking that if it worked super well it might be a good way for people with lots of data storage needs to add semi fast storage to a pool that can grow indefinitely

My dad is a photographer and is constantly managing his storage, expensive new units, managing arrays that ran out of space, that kind of thing. What would be amazing is a pool that can take any disk, of any size, and is fast

A student by doing. Thinking of interviewing people or making recordings of mediators talking about their practice. No firm plans tbh
