Howdee!
Slice10 looks real good.
The only problem I have so far, is on the new sendero;
fsck -p complains that certain partitions are busy. This I belive to be
incorrect. There is nothing wrong that is detectable, but the same three
partitions are always busy for fsck -p but will mount -a (or fsck)
perfectly fine from the shell.
I also compiled a SLICEed SMP kernel and that looks correct too. Managed
to NFS mount all of Nomis on Sendero and cpio the entire machine over
without a hitch.
Here is the configuration, in case you cared:
MB: P6DNH2 with 2xP6-200
RAM: 384MB
Video: Matrox MGA 2064W graphics accelerator
SCSI: DPT PM3334UW w/64MB RAM
DPT PM3334UDW w/64MB RAM
Disks: Iomega Jaz (for testing) - Still have to play with remove-insert
RAID-1 for boot device - 4GB usable - Single bus
RAID-5 for storage - 28GB usable - Single bus shared with RAID-1
RAID-0 for playing around - 28GB split across 2 busses
There are two DAT drives on the system, one on each bus, as well as a
Yamaha WORM. They all are doing fine.
I will be adding another RAID-5 array tomorrow and hook up another CPU to
the same pair of busses; For multi initiator and DLM development.
I have tested the large arrays as both a single 28GB slice/partition and as
a split/fragmented. They both seem to be doing fine.
The only problem appears to be with fsck. Given the standard /etc/rc
script it fails miderably with large partitions and/or many filesystems.
It needs the enclosed patch to work.
If fsck cannot be fixed to acomodate such a large collection of large
disks, I'll be happy to submit a patch the /etc/rc that works. It is a bit
slower than the current one but works.
Thanx for the help and the functionality.
Simon
