[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

Built my PhD thesis with it amongst other things and everything seemed fine. Pete.

[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?

[arch-general] How do AUR packages get new maintainers?
by David C. Rankin 23 Sep '10

23 Sep '10

Guys, I've seen recent "Request to Ophan package XYZ" posts, and I've found some fairly large AUR packages that are orphaned (like RPM5). But, how do AUR packages get new maintainers? Does somebody monitor the orphans and then divvy them out among those with write privileges in AUR or does somebody have to say I'll take package X on? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

I install the XF86-video-intel driver package by pacman, *$ pacman -Ss xf86-video* | grep intel* *extra/xf86-video-intel 2.12.0-1 (xorg-video-drivers) [installed]* but the glxgears just output like below: *$ glxgears * *635 frames in 5.0 seconds = 126.856 FPS* *663 frames in 5.0 seconds = 132.454 FPS* *516 frames in 5.0 seconds = 103.154 FPS* So some game like supertux2 can't play, and mplayer can't play by vo gl/gl2.

[arch-general] Local Mirror - Wiki Article
by Matthew Gyurgyik 23 Sep '10

23 Sep '10

Since the other thread is huge and hard to follow, I am creating a new thread. I would like to use this thread to talk strictly about the Local Mirror wiki article. I have updated the wiki article to reflect the new pool directory. Currently there are some packages that are in pool/ while others are still in {$repo}/os/${arch}. Those in pool have symlinks to {$repo}/os/${arch} >From my understanding, eventually, all packages will be in pool/ http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Local_Mirror I am hoping someone who runs a Local Mirror can try this out. I do not have a need for a local mirror nor do I want to pull Gigs of data from a mirror to test this. However, I have done dry runs on the rsync command. @Devs: Maybe someone can update the Mirror Section in the NewMirrors wiki article http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:NewMirrors#Mirror_size
