for a bit

Fresher Rep's Report

Machine Technical Reports
-------------------------
Servers
- SAN appears to be FITH
- Some server is getting used to test CEPH
- Server went down this week
- [GOZ], [ODF], [NEO] blame [BOB]

Network
- SAN appears to be FITH
- Sharpchin hasn't failed yet
- Someone was testing the Unisfa uplink, then shut it down when they had
finished
Desktops
- SAN appears to be FITH
- Catfish is being not the best
- refusing to cache profiles correctly
- [NEO] wants to change the name of Rai to Cockgrunter
- [ODF] voices his opinion against it
- [ODF]: First as the donating person, "F@^# you guys"; Secondly as an
OCM, I think it's wrong that someone donates a machine with the name,
that you change it after the person donates it
- No name change
New equipment
- Need a new SAN
