Well,
I'm testing cooker with the three things that were going not so fine lately:
I mean software-RAID with VIA chipset and ReiserFS.
I made the following partitions:
/dev/md1 34503 2609 31894 8% /
/dev/hda2 97 3 89 3% /boot
/dev/md0 2000 559 1441 28% /home
md1 is level 1, md0 is level 0 actually.
Both md0 and md1 are ReiserFS.
Motherboard is MSI-6321: fully VIAed:
00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82C691 [Apollo PRO] (rev c4)
00:01.0 PCI bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82C598 [Apollo MVP3 AGP]
00:07.0 ISA bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82C686 [Apollo Super] (rev 22)
00:07.1 IDE interface: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82C586 IDE [Apollo] (rev 10)
00:07.2 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82C586B USB (rev 10)
00:07.3 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82C586B USB (rev 10)
00:07.4 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82C686 [Apollo Super ACPI]
My result are really confortable: 8 hours without crashes even with heavy
disk-load, like cdripping, moving ISO between filesystem, deleting trees with
about 50000 files.
Moreover, finally BOTH DISK (hda/hdc) have been seen exactly equals. It
happened that hda was mapped LBA only if hdc was not attached since last
kernel. Now it's OK. They're the same!
So, really positive notes about these problems, they seem solved...
By the way, for my IDE-raid-1:
[root@monster claudio]# hdparm -tT /dev/md0
/dev/md0:
Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 0.68 seconds =188.24 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 1.91 seconds = 33.51 MB/sec
So, really compliments for your latest work! :o)
