[arch-general] BTRFS, a good choice for /?
by Nilesh Govindarajan 27 Sep '10

27 Sep '10

Hi, After true multilib support came for arch, I reformatted / as jfs to install arch64. But somehow, I feel my system is slow (in spite of regular fscks on every ten mounts and using deadline scheduler) as compared to arch32 & ext4. I'm thinking of using btrfs on /, is it stable to the extent that I can use it on /? I guess a lot of you guys are using it here? -- Regards, Nilesh Govindarajan Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/nilesh.gr Twitter: http://twitter.com/nileshgr Website: http://www.itech7.com VPS Hosting: http://www.itech7.com/a/vps

[arch-general] RAID Fails Due To Metadata
by Carlos Mennens 25 Sep '10

25 Sep '10

I noticed today I tried to create a new system using 'Software / Fake RAID' on Arch with the 'mdadm' utility. I have not done this for a year or so but realized that when I tried now on my new system, it failed and then I tried it again and read between the lines... mdadm: Note: this array has metadata at the start and may not be suitable as a boot device. If you plan to store '/boot' on this device, please ensure that your boot-loader understands md/v1.x metadata, or use --metadata=0.90 So then I created my array as follows: mdadm --create /dev/md0 --metadata=0.90 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sda2 /dev/sdb2 Is there a way to get Grub to read / access the default metadata that the 'mdadm' utility uses?
