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.
