I've just today received a couple of Western Digital 3Tb drives, so I thought it would be worth a status report - initially on 11.3, but I'll be trying out 11.4M5 very shortly:
Platform - very plain, second-hand office desktop IBM M52 with a 2.8GHz Celeron and 2Gb memory. Drive - Western Digital WD30EZRSDTL, 5400rpm, 64Mb cache, 4096 physical sector size. SATA II.
Installation of minimal server went just fine, no problems whatsoever. Note - boot manager lilo, NOT grub.
Good to hear. Where is the partition with /boot located? Entirely below 2 TB?
Yes right at the beginning of the drive, I might try 11.4M5 with a few different partitionings.
The partitioning seems a little odd - the first partition starts at 2048s, which is 2048 512-byte sectors, so at 1048576bytes.
That is the default alignment of parted 2.2. It's a feature.
Okay. With 3Tb who cares about 1Mb ... :-) The remaining three partitions all start on a sector# that is a multiple of 8, so that seems fine. I always install with firewall disabled, but I thought sshd should be started automatically - which it wasn't. Moving on to 11.4M5. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (-2.5°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
