2009-07-30 Thread Helmut Jarausch
Hi, is it only me or is it well known, that even aufs2- does not build with a gentoo-sources-2.6.30(-r1-r4) ? Many thanks for a comment, Helmut. -- Helmut Jarausch Lehrstuhl fuer Numerische Mathematik RWTH - Aachen University D 52056 Aachen, Germany

Is cost-savings the advantage of using CF instead of SSD?  It sounds like it might be wiser to spend a little more (low capacity SSD drives are pretty cheap now) and have a real storage device that doesn't need an adapter and is much faster, can swap, etc. I assumed that you're looking at
