When Russia invaded Finland in a war of conquest in 1939, it was the Nazis that Russia was aligned with to sanction the attack. See the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact. It was a joint decision among Nazis and Russia to attack Finland. The stupid "what-about-isms" is classic Russia propaganda.

Right, he just abused policies to pay HIS businesses with tax dollars...

Wonderful, now "unsigned long" turns into an uncompilable "unsigned int32_t"!

Not entry trade job. A trade job after 4 years experience instead of a college education, tough, $80k is on the low end where I live. And replace the student debt for a small income during those years.

Looks like Broadcom's Ventura controller supports MegaRAID style h/w raid for NVMe.

If you accept the terms of service, you can't complain when your domain is seized after you violate them. You should find a registrar with terms you agree with before you host your domain with them.

I think the premium is because Intel had to pour a lot of resources into working around Microsoft's broken operating system; Windows can't boot from storage volumes spanning multiple controllers. Probably a big effort to work around that mess. In comparison, Linux never had that problem, but if booting Windows from NVMe RAID is your goal, VROC looks like the only option from any vendor.

Yes, all VMware projects use 3-spaces.

You're supposed to adopt to the coding style of the project you're working on.

If the goal is to save money, there is significantly lower fruit to pick... Obviously saving money has nothing to do with this.

What the heck are you talking about? Intel devices have a quirky alignment requirement that they made work well in Linux (it's documented in the git logs), but Intel neglected BSD. What part of this do you consider to be marketing?

According to the Linux kernel, Intel NVMe devices have the block stack stick to certain alignments for performance reasons. Now quoting the above article: "All tests were done on a DragonFlyBSD". I doubt Intel did the same enabling there as they did for Linux.

It would be a lot easier if it was merged to mainline and ported to a distribution. Until that happens, you'd have to merge out-of-tree code into your kernel and create your own installation image. Not for the feint of heart!

If you want to use Linux on this platform in "RAID" mode with the supported BIOS, the source code to enable it is part of this patch series from an Intel developer: http://lists.infradead.org/pip.... It's not pretty, but it sounds like that's just how the hardware works.

I believe it was leaked that 3D XPoint is initially planned to be marketed at the enthusiast consumer rather than enterprise. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2...
