All eight are Dell Express Flash PM1725b 1.6 TB SFF (Samsung OEM), PCIe 3.0 x4 behind
a Broadcom PEX switch. Two provenance batches: the S5CU… six (fw 1.2.2) and the
S47V… pair (fw 1.2.0 / 1.2.1) with thousands of prior-life power cycles.

⚠ nvme7 was ABSENT from every boot 2026-04-23 → 2026-09-05 (kernel enumerated 7
NVMes per boot; PCIe downstream port 02:04.0 had nothing on bus 07). It reappeared at
the 09-05 14:26 cold boot, the pool resilvered 638 GB, and 2 CKSUM errors landed on it
at import. While it was missing tank was DEGRADED, and Debian's zfsutils-linux cron
(/usr/lib/zfs-linux/{scrub,trim}) only touches pools whose health is ONLINE, so tank
got no scrub and no trim from 04-12 to 09-06. ZED's ZED_EMAIL_ADDR=root has no
MTA behind it, so the 4½-month degradation alerted nobody. media_errors=2084 on
nvme7 is a lifetime counter.
Settled by the 2026-09-09 scrub (00:29–02:02 PT, scrub repaired 0B in 01:32:44 with 0 errors, then zpool clear tank → CKSUM 2 → 0): media_errors read 2084
before and 2084 after a full 6.84 TiB verify, so the counter is prior-life
history, not an active fault, and the 2 CKSUM were the stale-block artefact of the
09-05 late resilver. nvme7 stays in service; watch the counter at every visit and
replace on growth (zpool replace tank nvme7n1 <new>; any PM1725b 1.6 TB or
larger). Slot 0-5 itself deserves a reseat / cable check at the next hands-on
visit — a bay that dropped a drive for 4½ months is the likelier fault than the
drive. Playbook: playbooks/ana-ml2-pool-health.yaml (idempotent; rerunning is a
no-op). ⚠ Nothing alerts on this — see the open follow-up in
persistent-memory.d/2026-09-09-ana-ml2-pool-actions-done.md.

Running stacks
Live inventory as of 2026-07-22. Each model is its own compose stack now
(container vllm-<x> / llama-<x>); the vllm stack proper is just the
embed/rerank/reward trio. GPUs are pinned per container via
deploy.resources.reservations.devices[].device_ids.
GPU 0 — heavy RP / reasoning seats (~88/98 GB, hot serving path):
| Container | Port | Served model | Quant | Ctx |
|---|---|---|---|---|
vllm-gen (project gen-seat) |
8015 | qwen3.8-27b-uncensored — the "gen" hero seat (Qwen3.8-27B Heretic-abliterated, in-house NVFP4 W4A16 + grafted MTP) |

vllm-charrp-reasoning-nvfp4 |
8018 | char-rp-reasoning (R36 reasoning RP) |

vllm-selene |
RETIRED 2026-08-23 — lost a head-to-head against gen on its own judge task (see stacks/selene/README.md); seat downed to reclaim 17.2 GiB on GPU 1. selene-1-mini-8b now 404s by design; use chat-judge. |

Both cards run near-full (~7–10 GB headroom each) — adding a seat means placing it on the card with room or evicting a dormant one first.
Dormant (compose present on disk, containers stopped) — rollback / audition
seats, safe to leave: mistral-medium-3.5, mistral-small-4(-heretic),
ms32-24b-angel, qwen3.5-122b, qwopus3.5-122b, qwen35-vl, qwen36-vl,

parakeet, vllm-qwen3.
Retired:
llama-swap(former GGUF multiplexer on :9292) — replaced by dedicated per-model seats (e.g.llama-charrp); no longer running.infinity— replaced by thevllmstack (originallyvllm-qwen3, renamed 2026-05-13 when the stack expanded beyond Qwen3) after the upstream Infinity image stopped shipping atransformersbuild that knew Qwen3.LibreChat (+ rag_api, vectordb, mongodb, meilisearch),searxng— removed from this host (searxng now on ana-docker fleet-wide).

GPU allocation policy
Every seat is explicitly pinned via device_ids (no unpinned containers), and
both cards run ~90% full:
- GPU 0: the two heavy NVFP4 seats —
vllm-gen(gen) andvllm-charrp-reasoning-nvfp4. The live serving path (near-100% util under load), ~42 + 45 GB. - GPU 1: everything else — reward, embed, rerank, and the Magidonia char-RP GGUF seat. Bursty/on-demand, idle between calls, ~91 GB resident.
Pin with deploy.resources.reservations.devices[].device_ids: ["<id>"] in
compose. Each service caps its share with --gpu-memory-utilization; with both
cards near-full, placing a new seat means freeing room (evict a dormant one) or
trimming a neighbour's utilization first.
