Many the time I'd opened the box, written down the brand names and sizes of the installed harddrives. It was easier when they were different, and a right pain when a box had two or more identical models. I haven't multibooted for eons (it has its own worlds of pain), but I still like the idea of one drive for data, another for the system. It makes OS updates so much easier to manage. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.71.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 28 15:37:28 UTC 2022 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
