Testing etc
All disks have been removed. There is a pile of ten boxes that have been maxed out with 32GB RAM. Some of them had leaky BIOS batteries, I removed them. We might need to clean the battery holder and put new batteries in there. I suggest we keep the eleventh box for surplus RAM and possibly disk testing (although a box with lots of SATA ports might be more useful for that).
I started wiping disks, 2x2 at a time using 2 Dell workstations. Here's how:
Boot from USB (push F12 and select USB from boot menu). Hit enter a couple of times. When you're in the gui, open 2 terminals and type:
sudo -i dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1M conv=fsync
For the second one replace sda with sdb. Wait until the prompt returns. There should be only a disk space error. If there are are any other errors, the disk might be faulty.
Furthermore I got 3 CR2032 batteries to replace the faulty ones.
