New Ubuntu LTS Server But Cannot Access

[scottalanmiller]

Updates are STILL running!

Just got to the stage where it said "this may take several hours more."

Hey, it finally rebooted.

@gilberto You said that you needed 4TB of capacity. But this machine only has 2TB.

I've seen some unexpected, very high IOWait numbers. You might have disk problems underneath somewhere. It seems like it is waiting on the disks a lot. There are four RAID arrays attached here, all software RAID.

All fixed. Did a full update, then had to modify the /root/.profile file from this line...

mesg n || true

To this line...

tty -s && mesg n || true
