><i> Hi folks,
</I>
Hi there
><i>
</I>><i> As you know, rabbit.mageia.org was offered to Mageia.Org.
</I>><i> This gift is now over and we need to find a way to replace this server
</I>><i> ASAP as alpha of Mageia 3 is not so far...ime i
</I>
I'm also guilty but still we need a decision very quickly. dedibox offer
will end in the beginning og august but we need to close it down 3 weeks
before. Alpha 1 is planned for 4th of september and we need to have
server ready 2 weeks before. So time is *short*
><i>
</I>><i> FYI, we had:
</I>><i> <A HREF="http://www.online.net/serveur-dedie/offre-dedibox-professionnel-dell.xhtml">http://www.online.net/serveur-dedie/offre-dedibox-professionnel-dell.xhtml</A>
</I>><i> If we keep this, it will cost 60 € Tax Included per month.
</I>><i> So, 720 € for a year.
</I>><i> During Mageia 1 and Mageia 2 release process, Anne et Thomas encountered
</I>><i> big troubles like: very very long time to generate ISO and to use the
</I>><i> server for live and DVD at the same time.
</I>
Indeed. Live cds build was done during night as it takes several hours.
1 DVD iso took about 20 minutes which seems to be fast but very long
when you are in the middle of a release and you need short build times
to test some fixes.
><i>
</I>><i> The bad points of the server we had were:
</I>><i> - "small" and old CPU as it was a "green" and old server
</I>><i> - big IO trouble as HDD are in SATA only
</I>><i> The good points were:
</I>><i> - 16 GB of RAM
</I>><i> - 2x2TB of HDD
</I>><i> - HW raid
</I>><i>
</I>><i> I checked Lenovo, HP and Dell to have a server to replace this box.
</I>><i> Dell is cheaper than the two others!
</I>><i>
</I>><i> I made a configuration with a Dell PowerEdge R210-II:
</I>><i> - CPU: 1 x Intel Xeon E3-1240: 4C/8T, 3,30 GHz, 8M Cache
</I>><i> - RAM: 16GB
</I>><i> - HDD controller: Dell H200 (hardware raid)
</I>><i> - HDD: 2 x 600GB, SAS 6Gbps, 3"5 15k (in RAID 0) Careful: can't add more
</I>><i> HDD! If we choose, the backpane for 4HDD, HDD will be 10k instead of
</I>><i> 15k... Add adding SSD on our side will break Dell warranty...
</I>><i> - iDRAC6 Express (impi)
</I>><i> Cost: ~1900 €*
</I>><i> * last time, for sucuk, Dell sent me a 15% of rabate. So I think, I will
</I>><i> have 15% once again... So it will make a server for ~1600 €
</I>><i>
</I>><i> The only issue I can see is the HDD.
</I>><i> For now, on rabbit:
</I>><i> [<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-sysadm">root at rabbit</A> ~]# du -shc /home/*
</I>><i> 189G /home/bcd

</I>><i> 110M /home/boklm

</I>><i> 36K /home/nanardon
</I>><i> 19G /home/pterjan
</I>><i> 19G /home/tmb
</I>><i> 698G total
</I>><i> [<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-sysadm">root at rabbit</A> ~]# df
</I>><i> Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
</I>><i> /dev/sda1 9.7G 4.2G 5.1G 46% /
</I>><i> /dev/mapper/rabbit-distrib
</I>><i> 496G 368G 103G 79% /distrib
</I>><i> /dev/mapper/rabbit-home
</I>><i> 886G 698G 144G 83% /home

</I>><i> [<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-sysadm">root at rabbit</A> ~]#
</I>><i>
</I>><i> So, the question is: "can you make live/DVD with 'only' 1,2 TB?" :-)
</I>><i> WDYT about this proposal?
</I>
I guess it's possible we can make copies of old builds in another file
system stored on non SSD disk.
I'm ok with this proposal :)
