gollark: Secondly, the disk in the server *does* have an OS? If you're booting it off a disk drive, make sure that's valid, and is connected.
gollark: So, firstly, is your terminal server connected to the, er, server, in the rack GUI?
gollark: Well, maybe not that slow, I don't know the exact details of OC networking, but at least would make latency a bit higher, and stress any relays you use.
gollark: 4 drives to a server would allow... 12MB? each, which is much more than you can do now, and would give each node a decent amount of computation power (especially with data cards), but splitting everything across the network would be sloooow.
