I've yet to see a real PCIe SSD (i.e. not a PCIe card with some SATA controllers and SATA SSDs onboard) which is supported by a mainline Linux kernel and I've talked to quite a few vendors. FusionIO and others offer binary-only kernel modules for their SSDs, but I wouldn't want to use binary-only drivers anywhere, especially in OBS.
Agreed. And then those beasts are really expensive. My customer simply runs stuff out of tmpfs -- even faster than the FusionIO and no binary crap needed
[...] Yes, using tmpfs is faster, but you loose the persistance when power goes off, and usually you don't have that much ram on your system :)
Since when do you need power-persistence for build roots? :) I have tied a tmpfs to /var/tmp/jng-openSUSE_12.1-x86_64 and factory-x86_64 so that at least the majority of my `osc build` invocations run accelerated. I can't say I see much difference to a system where /var/tmp is part of a SSD. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
