Pictures or it didn't happen. :-P
Actually, I was just thinking about how many scrap PCs you could
scavenge and wire together to make a cluster. I wonder how much old junk
you would need to even come close to the processing power of a single
high-spec PC?

Even if it does violate the relational model? Aww, it must be wuv...

It died because I made a small configuration change.
I did not make a backup of the config file because I was making a very
simple change that was very easily undoable.
Just a simple x = y line.
Well, in VI I hit i too many times and that little extra 'i' got added
to the domain for winbind - in a hard to see place.
So, lesson learned - no matter how simple the modification - always make
a copy that you can fall back to that is UNMODIFIED from what works.
At least now I have a simple smb.conf for sharing files in an emergency.

Far better than what you get to use at Google. :-)

...the HELL?! o_O
1. I had no idea they had this many computers.
2. I had no idea it required engineering on this scale to run that many
computers.
3. That seems like quite a lot of empty space, actually...

It does not mean that it is wasted space, though. You need space for
construction and maintenance. Not to mention air flow for cooling.

Sure. But given that computers are very low-power devices, you don't
think of a computer plant as something requiring megawatts of power and
entire rooms of cooling equipment.
