It took me a while but I managed to get IRIX 6.5.22 reinstalled on it. I have a couple questions about hardware and general maintenance of the system. Could any harm come from leaving it on all the time? I don't think it would be an issue as long as I keep it an open area where it can achieve sufficient airflow. My other question is what's the largest number of disks I can put in this system and what's the maximum capacity of each disk? And since these workstations use older SCSI disks that are relative low capacity by today's standards is there any way I could buy an adapter and put an SSD in my Octane? Not so much for performance but for longevity, noise and heat reduction, and more storage. I'm guessing that partition sizes will be limited by the older XFS versions and possibly the boot firmware not wanting to boot from large disks or partitions. Would just making multiple partitions on one disk work?
