[New: openFATE 308372] lib→lib32; lib64→lib

Feature added by: Matt Williams (Milliams) Feature #308372, revision 1 Title: lib→lib32; lib64→lib openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Matt Williams (milliams) Description: Now that 64 bit machines are almost ubiquitous, how about we make openSUSE treat 64 bit libraries as the default. This is already seen in the fact that in the buld service we have default packages and then 32 bitt packages are explicitly labeled as so. I propose: * Place all 32 bit libraries in directories called lib32 (e.g. /usr/lib32 ) * Place all 64 bit libraries in directories called lib (e.g. /usr/lib ) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308372

[New: openFATE 310938] Support Harddrives with > 3TB capacity
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 01 Aug '11

Feature added by: Denny Beyer (lumnis) Feature #310938, revision 1 Title: Support Harddrives with > 3TB capacity openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Denny Beyer (lumnis) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: As harddrives with capacities more than 3TB's are available, we need to ensure that those drives are fully supported. That includes: - mainboard chipset drives supporting those drives - booting from those drives : That requires EFI/UEFI support, as MBR only supports 2TB harddrives as maximum because it's based on 32bit fields - drive needs to be set up as GPT drive because GUID partitiontable uses 64bit sector numbers - full capacity is recognized by the system and usable Recent tests were showing issues with current linux systems. Could somebody with more inside knowledge could comment on that and if this could cause problems with upcoming openSUSE releases? Test Case: I haven't got the needed hardware, but if somebody does, could he/she try to install openSUSE 11.3/4 and report issues to get some idea where we are with regards to this issue. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: As available harddrive capacities are constantly growing, we need to make sure that opensuse can be installed on those systems without a problem. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310938
