hi!
i was wonderin (also tried my luck on perfomance-gentoo, but no one
home), what kind of partition + fs table would be optimal on server
and/or desktop. afaik, /usr/portage would be on its own partition, and
perhaps reiserfs and raid0. distfiles should be on a different
partition, so it would not be in the way of portage itself... but, what
about other parts of gentoo/linux. and is journaling filesystem over
striping raid just asking for trouble?
I'm running a 300-gig/disk, 4-SATA-disk, kernel RAID here, and /love/
it!
Each of the four disks is partitioned identically to the others, with
the
corresponding partitions on each grouped in the corresponding RAIDs.
/dev/md0 (on /dev/sd[a..d]1) is raid-1, necessary for boot, since that's
all grub and the like understand, but that's all that's on the raid-1.

Duncan,
Did you look in to EVMS at all. I am setting up a similar system to
yours...4 stat disk, linux raid, etc. However, I really wanted to use
EVMS and am only partially successful. I have, as of now, been able
to get the EVMS stuff correctly in initrd such that I can complete a
boot.
Just curious if you'd looked into EVMS at all and if you had any
thoughts.
Cheers,
Kevin
Wow...I didn't type well in the above message...it's supposed to be
'sata' not 'stat' disk...
And I was trying to say "I have, as of now, NOT been able...."
Cheers,
Kevin
