I used: - amd64 install cd 20031109 - emerge from stage1 - kernel: Linux version 2.6.0-test9-bk23 - xfsprogs 2.6.0 on dual Opteron with a 6x SCSI / Intel Corp. RAID Controller works perfect :-)
Ok, I'm going to let this report sit for a couple of days. Let me know if you run into any oddities. Also, what mobo and cpus do you have? If everything is OK, I'll add this to the technotes in a couple of days. -Brad
mobo TYAN K8S cpu 2x AMD Opteron 240 ram 4x 1GB DDR 333 reg ECC (each cpu 2GB) I plan to use this machine as a postgresql server next 2-3 weeks I'll build another system (storage server): mobo MSI K8D Master cpu 1x AMD Opteron 240 ram 2x 1GB DDR reg ECC raid 3Ware 8506 8x SATA HDDs 8x MAXTOR Maxline II Plus 250GB/7200/SATA => 2TB RAID5 (and space for another 8 drives) I'll send a report too...
any update on this ?? still working ok?
It's still running like a charm ;-) Next week I'll build a 2TB storage server as I allready told you.
Just noticed a little typo at http://dev.gentoo.org/~brad_mssw/amd64-tech-notes.html "The Bootloader: grub-static... ...emerge grub-static cp -Rpv /usr/share/grub/i386_pc/* /boot/grub" should be: cp -Rpv /usr/share/grub/i386-pc/* /boot/grub
Building of my new storage server is completed and the XFS filesystem looks brilliant running 2.6.0-test10 and samba :-) Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda3 7818852 1210436 6608416 16% / /dev/sda1 195980 2328 193652 2% /boot /dev/sda4 1705698820 3938588 1701760232 1% /opt/storage/vol1 none 1026108 0 1026108 0% /dev/shm I'm just pumping some gigs into vol1...
...after copying about 300GB to the new machine still no probz
added to my tech notes, thanks.
