Good question Marc. I'm searching for someone who knows how to combine 4
ea 4T SSD's into one volume for use with amanda, the lvm docs are
somewhat confusing, lacking the context that actually teaches.
> Hi Gene,
Five steps:
Ideally done when you do your reinstall :)
I have 5 of those 4T SSD's. figuring on using one for a holding disk. So it
willl always be empty at the end of a run
So - RAID5 - 12TB for your Amanda database and backups. RAID6 / RAID10 - 8TB
what installer? this is a pi clone but faster than a pi, install is putting
the .iso on a 64Gb microSD. And maybe moving it to the board mounted m2 for
faster booting.
This is a Debian list - I'm talking about Debian here :)
The only thing Pi clones share with the Raspberry Pi is the word Pi.
Most of them promise a 40 pin compatible pinout but there is no guarantee
as to what other building blocks are there and you almost certainly won't
be able to run any Pi accessories anywhere else or vice-versa.
There is no guarantee that any clone will work with anything else.
_Which_ Pi clone?
banana pi-m5. so far armbian noble has it covered. The only thing I
haven't tried on them is linuxcnc as it depends on a specific version of
gpio for some of its 50 microsecond IRQ response time.
If these are Banana Pi 5 and you want them supported *in Debian*, go and
talk to the folks on IRC on #debian-arm or the mailing list. Ask them to
get some boards and work out what the diff is between the supplied kernel
and a Debian kernel. Ideally, you want the vendor to commit to a long-term
support for the board. Banana Pi seem to change models very regularly - so
good luck with Shenzhen SINOVOIP.
Debian-arm? What a joke. That is the most unpleasant place in the Debian
world. If it's not a genuine r-pi, Debian-arm has no tolerance for what
s/b perfectly on-topic posts. There's tons of "pi" stuff around that
isn't foundation src'd, but they don't want to hear about them. My
offers to send them free hardware or donate cash have all been rebuffed.
If you have any pull, fix that & advise me. Their rules for such
donations remove any anonymity, and that's the only way I'll donate.
Install is putting an image - .img file onto the SD, booting it via u-boot
- and then running their installer to install onto the NVME.
How are you connecting your SSDs? Via USB3 or via good quality SATA leads
and high quality power supply?
If you want to do the RAID stuff for yourself, you'll first need to work out
how to run mdadm and LVM needs lvresize and similar.
Same steps as I gave you, but you'll need to ask your vendor to provide
_all_ support not this list.
Hope this helps - all the very best, as ever,
