Ordered more memory
The updates of PHP and WordPress seem to require more memory: the blog loads slower, and paging has increased. This was expected – but not in this amount. So I ordered more memory to fill the system to the max. It will take some time to get it, and installing it means the system won’t be available for some time. I take the opportunity to install a SCSI card as well so I can hook up the disks directly to the machine, and get rid of the HSZ50 unit: the battery is gone so caching is disabled and access is now limited to 5Mb/sec; since I have only one controller board, it is of no use for clustering: I tried but it simply doesn’t work with the Workstations: these crash dramatically. Or does someone have left-over controller board, cache and battery units?
