A status quo followup: Received my Intel Postville 80G G2 today. Copied my gentoo-root-fs to it (mkfs-ext4, then rsync), and my /home as well. It boots and works OK but I have to admit that I am not as impressed as I had imagined to be. The relevant mounts (sdc=ssd, sda & sdb: SATA-hdds, building parts of the LVM-vgs): # mount rootfs on / type rootfs (rw) /dev/sdc1 on / type ext4 (rw,noatime,nodiratime,barrier=1,data=ordered) proc on /proc type proc (rw,relatime) rc-svcdir on /lib64/rc/init.d type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,size=1024k,mode=755) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime) securityfs on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime) udev on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,nosuid,relatime,size=10240k,nr_inodes=1014583) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,gid=5,mode=620) shm on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime) tmpfs on /tmp type tmpfs (rw,mode=1777) none on /mnt/ramportage type tmpfs (rw,nr_inodes=1M,size=4000m,mode=1777) /dev/mapper/ssd-home on /home type ext4 (rw,noatime) /dev/mapper/VG02-var on /var type ext4 (rw,noatime) /dev/mapper/noraid-src on /usr/src type xfs (rw,noatime) /dev/mapper/noraid-portage on /usr/portage type ext4 (rw,noatime) usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,devmode=0664,devgid=85) rpc_pipefs on /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs type rpc_pipefs (rw) nfsd on /proc/fs/nfsd type nfsd (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) I was too curious at first to have a look for firmware so I did the firmware-update from 02HA to 02HD *after* having copied my root-fs. Could that matter? I am not sure. I am also not so sure about those ext4-parameters. Could anyone comment? Thanks a lot, Stefan
