[gentoo-ppc-user] Are there any Pegasos users?

2011-03-22 Thread Johannes Geiss
Hi here, are there any Pegasos users using Gentoo? Especially the hardware platform Pegasos II? I am looking for experiences about building an own kernel for this architecture. I compile them by myself for some years, but I think I could be better if I find someone else who is building kernels

Thanks for replies. As I had expected, they brought even more uncertainty then I had before... :-) ext3/4: I excluded them because as I understand, they do not support snapshots (only with lvm, which I do not use, and I've hreard snapshots in lvm are not very effective, or something like that).
