I appreciate it is unsupported, but assuming it works OK what are the limitations or issues with running from 128GB SD card for the system? I have seen a few people doing that.
Given I have a 12 x 2TB LFF chassis, would it be better to give one of the disks over to system and run 11 as storage?
This is an initial config to get me up and running. The plan would be to then upgrade on the fly as necessary, either internally or by migrating a node to a more appropriately specced box and eventually remove the three original ones.
