Description

(I'm going to take this a bit at a time...) Fixed reasons for gcc32 and ipchains -- thanks! I'll get to the other ones shortly... Updated Notes: Experimental DPT I2O SCSI RAID support Fedora Core 2 Test3 (x86 & x86-64) has activated the kernel-2.6 generic I2O layer for stability trials of Adaptec DPT I2O based SCSI hardware RAID controllers. This controller was previously supported in the 2.4 kernel series by the dpt_i2o driver, which is no longer operational. Testing should be done on Anaconda installation, partitioning, and stress tests with heavy workloads if possible, and only on non-production hardware because of the risk for data loss. If these test results prove to be positive, I2O may be kept for the final release of Fedora Core 2. Note that the i2o_scsi module has been disabled on x86-64 because it is known to cause deadlocks and crashes, however RAID capability with /dev/i2o/hdX devices has worked in initial testing. http://i2o.shadowconnect.com For more details about I2O development please visit the I2O Home Page. Please discuss I2O specific topics at the linux-scsi mailing list. Ok, added the following for the NPTL entry: NOTE: NPTL is not available in i586 and lower-end architectures. This includes VIA and K6 processors, and most often causes problems for certain db4 applications such as Subversion. Is that ok? Sorry, regarding comment #3 notting recommended excluding it from release notes. Ok, will pull the nptl reference.
As far as the I2O stuff is concerned, here is what I currently have:
Experimental DPT I2O SCSI RAID support â Fedora Core 1.91 Test 2 has
activated the kernel-2.6 generic I2O layer for stability trials of
Adaptec DPT I2O-based SCSI hardware RAID controllers. This controller
was previously supported in the 2.4 kernel series by the dpt_i2o
driver, which is no longer operational. Testing should be done on
Anaconda installations, partitioning, and stress tests with heavy
workloads, if possible.
Note
Only perform testing in non-production environments, due to the risk
of data loss.
If these test results prove to be positive, I2O may be kept for the
final Fedora Core release. Note that the i2o_scsi module has been
disabled on x86-64 because it is known to cause deadlocks and crashes;
however RAID capability with /dev/i2o/hdX devices has worked in
initial testing.
For more information about I2O development visit the "I2O on Linux" page:

Discuss I2O-specific topics at the linux-scsi mailing list. *** FIXME
-- need pointers to the list ***
As you can tell from that last paragraph, I need a pointer to this
list (subscription email address, Web archive of the list, etc.)
Other than that, does this look ok to you?
http://www.linuxhq.com/lnxlists/subscribe.html Subscribing is described here. Perhaps you want to copy the text. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi Mailing list archive Your above comment says "Test 2". Don't forget to change that to Test 3 for this upcoming release. =) Super -- thanks! And don't worry about "Test 2" -- that is added whenever the document is built. When the final fedora-release is built, it'll say the right thing... :-) Make sure all relevant sections reference this bug (the I2O one currently does not) |
