A status quo followup:

Received my Intel Postville 80G G2 today.

Copied my gentoo-root-fs to it (mkfs-ext4, then rsync), and my /home as
well.

It boots and works OK but I have to admit that I am not as impressed as
I had imagined to be.

The relevant mounts (sdc=ssd, sda & sdb: SATA-hdds, building parts of
the LVM-vgs):

# mount
rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)
/dev/sdc1 on / type ext4 (rw,noatime,nodiratime,barrier=1,data=ordered)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,relatime)
rc-svcdir on /lib64/rc/init.d type tmpfs
(rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,size=1024k,mode=755)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime)
securityfs on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs
(rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime)
udev on /dev type devtmpfs
(rw,nosuid,relatime,size=10240k,nr_inodes=1014583)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,gid=5,mode=620)
shm on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime)

/dev/mapper/VG02-var on /var type ext4 (rw,noatime)
/dev/mapper/noraid-src on /usr/src type xfs (rw,noatime)
/dev/mapper/noraid-portage on /usr/portage type ext4 (rw,noatime)
usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,devmode=0664,devgid=85)
rpc_pipefs on /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs type rpc_pipefs (rw)
nfsd on /proc/fs/nfsd type nfsd (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)


I was too curious at first to have a look for firmware so I did the
firmware-update from 02HA to 02HD *after* having copied my root-fs.

Could that matter? I am not sure.

I am also not so sure about those ext4-parameters.

Could anyone comment?

Thanks a lot, Stefan
