EPIA fun
Posted on Monday, 14th January, 2008 in Life
Well, as for replacing my current fileserver (which I seriously need to consider replacing), I’ll just pick up these things:
- 3WARE 9550SXU-8LP (that’s 399,00€) plus riser card
- VIA EPIA EK 8000EG (that’s 201,69€)
- Kingston ValueRAM DIMM 1 GB DDR-400 (that’s 57,00€)
- 4x Seagate ST31000340NS (that’s 279,00€ each - making a subtotal of 1.116,00€)
So after browsing some more for a replacement for my current fileserver, I’d like to share the latest stages with you people. Thanks to Mike (who mentioned that binutils-2.18* already does the LDFLAGS=”-Wl,-z,relro” part) I replaced it with “-Wl,-O1″. Same old place, there’s fresh stages … (and thanks again to Mike, with working util-linux-2.13-r2).
I also tried getting a Gentoo/Hardened stage for PowerPC working, but that fails as due to >glibc-2.3 needing =gcc-4*. Though luck ….
Oh, yeah. If anyone is looking for the specs, they are in my overlay.
If you’re still after the 9550SXU then give me a shout as I’ve got one going spare, open to offers
Definitely cheaper than 399EUR!
