    Hi, still here lol.
    sorry i have been MIA for the past 2 weeks. i've been "borrowing" movies to
    put on my plex server lol.

    ya the original server i was running proxmox / mystic BBS on, was a Dell
    R710. However when i bought the upgrade drives 8tb a peice, i found that the raid card doesnt read any disk above 4tb. i think it even limits the raid to
    4 tb... if i am not mistaken.
    that was really disapointing to say the least. however, i put all the drives
    in my old 8 core mac pro. i threw proxmox on it and ubuntu VMs.
    it seems to be running fine now.
    however i do wish i could stil use the Dell server as it has 120gigs of ram
    in it, my mac pro only has 32 gigs....

    I'm jealous of your disk space lol I bought a budget NAS, and have two raid1 arrays (4TB and 3TB) which is enough for my needs.. but I always want more :D

    I just moved my mystic server to a $5/mo Linode to remove the hastle of having to host it at home. There are some I suppose that would say that defeats some purpose, but to me it's just easier (for as long as I can spare $5/mo) :)

    Good luck with the rest of your builds. If you get back around to playing with the bulletins, I'd be glad to tinker along with you. Likewise if I figure anything out I'll drop you a line.
