I'm 1 minute into the video thinking "is the solution you get a whole-rack solution from HP / Dell / Lenovo with a service contract like normal companies do so then it's their ass on the line when shit doesn't work"? 

 

"Pffft NetApp storage costing $1000 per terabyte?  I can totally do it cheaper than that!"

 

Alternatively:  this is why everything is AWS or Azure or Google Cloud.

What config would you use with NetApp?

Why does every video have to have a gazillion dollars in the title or thumbnail?

Cheaper and slower, too.  NetApp couldn't hold a candle to this config.  First you have to get it to 1PB without compression, deduplication, compaction, or whatever else they use to make it look bigger than it is, then you have to pay professional services to cobble together flex groups and flex vols to create a 1PB filesystem.  or you can hit the easy button like they did in the video.  lol

Finished watching it and this was one of the better videos in recent time. The title not only does it not do the video justice, but it completely misses the point and lacks any summary of the content of the video.

 

The video was about so much cool things, including the problems as well as the fix (which was VERY interesting). But then the actual description of the server, the file system, the OS that runs it, and the simulation models and all that was extremely interesting.

 

I expected a video about a broken thing that doesn't work, s**t ton of money down the drain and some dissing of why and how this was an issue - basically expected a rant.

 

Honest to Buddha these guys need to tone down their titles and thumbnails.

 

A+ video, F- title/thumbnail.

honest question:  Did you not see the prior videos relating to this server?

As mentioned, it was a while ago now.

 

It was titled the "million dollar server" because the hardware they were "loaned" to make it work, legitimately was worth a million freaking dollars.

 

The NVME Drives in this thing alone are worth more than, like, a quarter million #$%#$^% dollars.

I was remarking about the “broken” part. It seems it is you who missed the point of why the title is not at all descriptive of the contents. The server worked fine (after a cpu reseat) in the whole video. The whole video was 2% about the problem (which was far from being broken but rather had a fixable issue, nothing was actually broken or damaged) and 98% about other stuff. But clickbait won right? I fully expect a title and thumbnail change by tomorrow.

Here's a 5 second fix then:

 

The $1M server WAS broken... (add whatever you want to it).

Examples:

- The $1M server WAS broken, here's how we fixed it.

- The $1M server WAS broken, but now better than ever.

- The $1M server WAS broken, but we got it running and you won't believe...

 

I mean I hate clickbaity titles but there's plenty of room for clickbait while at the same time being factual and more descriptive of the contents. 

Heck, even this Twitter profile has some fun with it:

Any of these would have been more factual and better. 

 

The video was so good the title thumbnail did not do it ANY justice!

Really late for this thread.. but a friend of mine at Weka was complaining that the performance wasn't nearly as good or fast as what it could have been.

From today's video at Computex 2023 (

) for Gigabyte's Nvidia tech, he mentioned the dataset for this is about 100TB in size. 7:00 Network Time Protocol. Could you instead of used a command line script? Like in Windows using 'time' and 'date' command to set as you wish and run those all at the same time to sync time instead of creating a time server? Love to know how to create a time server.

How was LMG able to borrow this hardware for so long without NASA wanting it back? Did they have a duplicate set up?
