  1. Re:If it works . . . on Phoenix BIOSOS? · · Score: 1

    It's only dangerous to update parts of the bios that cannot be avoided like the first block that gets booted. Just need enough programming to be able to read a new BIOS off of somewhere else, kinda like the BIOS' BIOS. Sadly the bios updater from ASUS rewrites the bootblock :-/

    BOINC was designed with the purpose of being a meta client, so if the SETI people are going to make this new stuff under a different BOINC project, all you have to do is add it to your clients, and BOINC will download any necessary processing cores. I don't see why they wouldn't add it to the existing project after a testing phase though.

  15. Re:go for RAID-5 on RAID Vs. JBOD Vs. Standard HDDs · · Score: 1

    Why are you keeping the OS off of the hard drives?

    Small boot partition is all you need, put one on each drive and raid0 them to keep it redundant. Only thing I've forgotten to do is install the boot loader to the other mbrs :)

  17. Re:Linux, raid5, LVM on top, can use extra capacit on RAID Vs. JBOD Vs. Standard HDDs · · Score: 1

    I'm liking the software raid5 as well.

    I started out with a 40gig, an 80gig and a 160gig :) You can't boot off of a raid5.

    Personally my drives are mostly partitioned 1-65 (512mb) for Raid 0 (boot partition)
    66-end of drive for Raid 5.

    I'm surprised you're suggesting making another array...
    I've been getting good use out of mdadm, pvresize, and finally lvresize

    Growing the /dev/md2 looks like this:
    mdadm /dev/md2 -G -z 79000000 -- read man page, I think this is kb used from each drive
    pvresize (doesn't need any arguments)

    also, when you build the array, use --metadata=1.2 as the current default has an upper limit of 2tb devices. (i.e. /dev/sda1) (I prefer to think long term ;)
