Hi All
So Leap 16.0 has been out one month, it was a rocky start with the new installer but have the following systems all setup and being used.
System one:
Primary use is a desktop setup with GNOME and is used daily, Primary graphics is the Nvidia GPU with the Intel GPU running as a Display Controller.
System two;
Primary use is dual boot with Windows 11 Pro, more of a test system to see how dual boot goes, no issues, but watch out on the Installer Storage page as it wanted to delete the windows install, had to ensure I checked the do not modify option!
System three;
Primary use is for K3s and Nvidia Compute, not much to say, it works
System four;
This will at some point become a file server using iSCSI. This is still W.i.P. as testing out storage options…
Leap 16.0 is installed on;
/dev/md126p1[/]: RAID1 using mdadm (software RAID) on two (2) 128GB NVMe’s in two dual SSD/NVMe PCIe X4 card.
The storage setup is;
/dev/md125[/stuff]: RAID 5 using the onboard Intel RSTe/VROC controller with three (3) 128GB M.2 SSD’s in two dual SSD/NVMe PCIe X4 cards and a PCIe X1 M.2 SSD card.
/dev/sdd[/data]: RAID 50 using part of the MR9440-8i controller, two spans with three (3) 500GB SATA disks in each span.
/dev/sde[/extra]: RAID 0 using part of the MR9440-8i controller with two (2) 4TB SATA drives.
I would like to ultimately put in some SAS (12Gb/s) drives for storage, probably three in RAID 5.
