I'm running the traditional Ken FS, sans Erik's mods.
sans is French for without hence serif sans-serif, is that what
you meant ?

pedants would point out that it is unlikely this is
traditional ken fs. it is much more likely to be geoff's
reform 63-bitized version.

Hello,
this isn't a complete list of supported ahci or marvell
parts. i don't know about jmicron support. i tried
to add it without having any hardware to test. i have
always chosen other hardware over jmicron. it seems
to benchmark poorly and be unnecessarly incompatable.
i have not done
I have an MSI G31TM-P21 + q8200
http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=proddescmaincat_no=1prod_no=183
Nice board. I could get it for 50$. So far I can see this board has
the ICH7 chip. So AHCI is not working on this board? I am not sure
if this is important.
Thanks!
Wolfgang
Interessting idea. Do you use a fossil only configuration and
mirroring with fs(3)?
I use fossil and venti with everything mirrored with fs(3) - each partition.
I have two 7500 RPM Enterprise grade disks (i.e. better than average
reliability)
from two different manufacturers, the idea is one
1. unless one needs more ports than the motherboard
offers, i would stick with on-board ports.
That makes sense for me. Perhaps I could save money and
use the onboard network chip too (most RELTEK)? Then I
could invest more money in the board and the CPU.

a bit more in the way of survivability, would be to not use fs for venti.

Sorry, I have corrected myself privately but not here yet.
The Intel D945GCLF2D looks like a nice board but I agree the broken MP
tables are a deal breaker for plan9 (unless acpi support can sidestep
the issue one day).

Venti deals with incompletely written blocks; the arenas and index structures
are still workable. The situation is even recoverable - a proxy could notice
that one of the backends failed to return a read, so it rewrite the data from
an other copy (which it can verify) to the failed one.

There are some newer mini-itx cards from supermicro which also look
interesting but I have no experience of them:

for about 5 users and 500 GB of data.
