[Mageia-dev] Will this work for a build system?

Sat Sep 25 17:08:47 CEST 2010

Hello Mageia Development Team,
+
+I have a VM resource that I'd like to provide in the U.S. as a build
+system if you think its acceptable:
+
+Physical Hardware:
+Dell PowerEdge T300 with Intel Quad Core Xeon E5410 2.33GHz (64-bit,
+VT capable).
+24GB RAM
+2TB storage via hardware RAID6
+
+Virtual Machine:
+I've created a VM using KVM which allocates 2 CPUs and 8GB RAM.  There
+are 3 LVM virtual disks for /, swap and /var (or whatever) that are
+free to grow within their 1TB volume group.
+
+If you need 2 VMs (ie: for 32-bit and 64-bit) I can provide another
+with 2 CPUs and 4GB RAM but I'll need to split the 1TB volume group
+into two.
+
+Bandwidth from ISP is marginal.  10Mb down, 2Mb up.  I think 10Mb down
+is their limit but I'll see if they can increase the upload speed...
+
+I know nothing about creating a build server so I'm willing to learn
+or simply provide Magia development root access to the VM(s).
+
+If you think this can be useful, I'll add it to the Hardware Resources
+section of the wiki.  If not, I'll set it up as a local Mageia mirror.
+
+Thanks,
+Rick
