David’s Data Server – the old Athlon 1.4 GHz PC – has arrived home, with 4 hard drives. Again they too are old, but hey for virtually nothing I’ve now got a data server with like 150 GB.
They guys did a good job, leaving the original boot drive in place, so it still boots both Linux and Windows XP.
The linux fdisk utility shows all 4 disks and lots of partitions. For the geeks I’ve included it below. Wow, I’ve got a lot of “gee I wonder what’s stored there?” searching to do. Lots of mount and umount on the way.
