We have 6 vossi machines. They are intended to be used as developer playgrounds since they have system resources far greater than the usual Developer laptop.

Here are some suggestions to maximize the use of the system resources these machines provide.

Create an MOTD that displays whenever anyone logs in:

vim /etc/motd

                                STOP!

           This machine was promised to Joe Dev for exclusive use.

Check https://wiki.sepia.ceph.com/doku.php?id=hardware:vossi&#installed_oses to
          see if there are any others available for exclusive use.

      Let dmick or akraitman know if you need a different OS installed.


                               Thanks!

If you want to build Ceph on an SSD (the main OS and /home are on a spinner), find an SSD that's not in use (sd{b..e}), then:

mkdir -p ~/src
sudo mkfs.xfs /dev/sde
sudo mount /dev/sde ~/src

Then clone ceph.git to ~/src and do your thing.
