I didn't have the right HP bolts to mount the drive so this is still waiting to be done properly. As I'm replacing the main system disk, I'll need to mirror it to the new one then resize the partitions, this may take a little while of downtime I'm afraid!

Post by: Tony on August 28, 2015, 07:46:42 AM: The link is 80mbps down, 20 up - not the fastest but plenty fast enough for our little site.

Sure this place could easily exist without me, it would just need a paid-for host :) I'm cheap!

I do need to swap out some drive mounts for some special HP anti-vibration ones (grr) so it will need to be turned off again briefly this evening.
