Re: Is Scientfic Linux Still Active as a Distribution?

2020-02-23 Thread Graham Allan
I find it extremely puzzling that you can express so much fear about IBM and then even consider moving into the arms of Oracle! I used Scientific Linux for about 10 years and it was fantastic. Close to 4 years ago I moved to a new place which uses CentOS instead. It also works just fine,

It's not so bad if you build the system taking these things into account (much easier if you wait long enough to read about others' experiences :-). We built our BSD ZFS systems using inexpensive Intel 313 SSDs for the log devices. I can't say that they're the best possible choice, opinions

I'm not sure if anyone really knows what the reliability will be, but the hope is obviously that these SLC-type drives should be longer-lasting (and they are in a mirror). Losing the ZIL used to be a fairly fatal event, but that was a long time ago (ZFS v19 or something). I think with current ZFS
