Fair enough. However, the machine has 32 CPUs and 32G of RAM, so even while used as a buildd, significant amounts of resources are probably just sitting idle. I see that it only has 72G of disk though (2x72G disks in RAID-1 config), however we could probably solicit donation of the disks needed or even convince DPL to throw some money at it. Hence the questions: 1. Is there any virtualization solution on zee which would allow us to run more than a single buildd on it? 2. If disks are the bottleneck, what are the part numbers for them? I guess that if we would get another two, we could simply make another RAID-1 volume out of that, to not interfere too much with existing setup? 3. Who is the right person to talk to about arranging various reconfigurations like that?
