I appreciate that, but that means I'd have to do a complete re-install from
scratch, something I had to do 7 times already as its a full day per install
even when most of the storage is now SSD's in raid10 configs. The latest
generation of shingled spinning rust is a disaster looking for a place to
happen. And that's just the bare metal install, nowhere near a working
system. To redo this system to the state its in now would take around a
week. And I still haven't gotten my web page working.
