There is some logic behind the choice of which option will be used, and portage makes use of that.

[gentoo-user] MySQL server hardware recommendation
I wanted to ask if anyone on the list is running a large MySQL database and for their server hardware recommendations. The servers are anticipated to have a DB of 10-20GB, with about 5000-1 clients (automated). The database will be mostly used for updates to the data making up most of the operations. We are considering using Dual AMD Opteron processors and at a minimum of about 4GB memory (PC2700 or PC3200 - not sure if the extra bandwidth will add much performace). One of the items I'm debating is the type of RAID controller to use that is well supported under Gentoo. I'm also contemplating whether to consider a SATA2 or a SCSI subsystem. Just as a side not, I've always wondered the type of hardware used by Google as they have been very successful in using smaller inexpensive boxes according to the rumors that have circulated on the Internet. Any vendor recommendations would also be welcome. Thank you, Frank

The way you have it, first the mysql and mysqli flags are being turned on, then the flags go back to default, and the doc flag is turned on, then the flags go back to default and the ndb-doc flag is turned on, so ndb-doc is the only non-default flag that ultimately is turned on. But if you have dev-db/mysql mysql mysqli doc ndb-doc (just one line instead of three), they will all be turned on.

The servers are anticipated to have a DB of 10-20GB, with about 5000-1 clients (automated). The database will be mostly used for updates to the data making up most of the operations. We are considering using Dual AMD Opteron processors and at a minimum of about 4GB memory (PC2700 or PC3200 - not sure if the extra bandwidth will add much performace). One of the items I'm debating is the type of RAID controller to use that is well supported under Gentoo. I'm also contemplating whether to consider a SATA2 or a SCSI subsystem. Just as a side not, I've always wondered the type of hardware used by Google as they have been very successful in using smaller inexpensive boxes according to the rumors that have circulated on the Internet. Any vendor recommendations would also be welcome. I've been looking at a couple of the HP DL385 for a similar application. It's fairly cost effective to toss 8 x 1GB sticks of RAM in it though I think you can push them up to 32GB if you're willing to pay for denser RAM. I'm still not certain what I plan to do for disk. Six 15k 36GB drive in RAID 10 would be fastest, but I think 3 or 4 disks in RAID 5 will probably be what I go with. HP offers the single core and dual core chips in that platform. I'm thinking of sticking with the single core for the time being. Prices are supposed to drop again on AMD chips next month so it might be worth your time to wait a bit. I've got a DL360 with a cpq smartarray raid card running Gentoo. It works fine though the naming is a bit strange when you set it up. You might want to check which card revision they're currently installing, but I've had good luck with the smartarray cards and Linux over the years. kashani -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: changing CHOST in stage3 (was : [gentoo-user] default stage3)
To explain, keep in mind that optimisation and chost are two different things. i386 is a lowest common denominator instruction set that will run on most 386 and above x86 processors. i4/5/686 adds few specialised instructions and I believe the compiler is able to use them to produce faster code in some cases. The downside is the loss of compatibility - apparent if you switch processors. Is the system faster - my tests (done ages ago now) say yes, but not by much and its highly dependent on the actual code/data in use at the time. Generally, you will get more gain by smarter configuration, better software etc. Thats not to say optimised CFLAGS and compiler choices wont give a useful speedup, especially when crunching data. It just wont turn a 667Mhz P3 into the equivalent 1G P3 - I know I recently tried to get a little more out of one :) BillK On Wed, 2005-11-23 at 21:24 -0400, Robin wrote: Wouldn't leaving the CHOST at i386-pc-linux-gnu build unoptimized binaries?

Re: [gentoo-user] C compiler cannot create executables
Search forums: many posts exist. Try using gcc-config and fix_libtool.sh as a starter. BillK On Wed, 2005-11-23 at 22:49 -0600, Michael Sullivan wrote: I think I've somehow managed to screw gcc up.

The CD drive is on an internal EIDE controller which I can boot from whether the Highpoint is enabled or not. The system itself is a 5 year-old Compaq Proliant server which was never intended to have an EIDE hard-drives alongside its SCSI array, so I seem to be unable to tell it to boot from the array rather than the Highpoint.

Is there any way to get the kernel to choose an IRQ for the HPT302? I thought this was what plug play operating systems were about.

I've tried furtling with the interrupts of the various controllers, but it's not a very intuitive interface on this machine - might I be able to change the boot order this way? My guess is that mucking with interrupts is not going to help. There is usually an option to affect the boot order, typically named something like Boot Off-Board controllers first. If you can give the model number of the server, we can probably lookup the BIOS manual online and maybe give better advice. It should also be possible to write a boot sector to the IDE disk that will boot from the SCSI disk. If your /boot partition is /dev/sda1, something like this might work: #echo (hd0) /dev/hda /boot/grub/device.map.ide #echo (hd1) /dev/sda /boot/grub/device.map.ide # grub --device-map=/boot/grub/device.map.ide grub setup (hd0) (hd1,1) ... grub quit But, fair warning, I've never tried this, so I'm not sure how well it will work. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
