Partition scheme on BSD for QT development
-
Im fairly new to BSD but not to QT so my question is::
Brand new HP Proliant machine (bought solely for QT dev) with 10*8TB of HDD. I want to put FreeBSD 11 on it. And need some advice:: what is better :: to go with default partition scheme BSD installer offers, or to put
/(root),/homedirs on two separate patitions (but the same physical HDD), but to have QT engine and QT work(project) dirs on separate hardware (HDD, doubled in case of failure).Whats better and why?

@devs4p Not sure how this is related to Qt.
I prefer to have a root and a /home partition.
What do you mean by "Qt engine"?
If hardware defects are a concern then you could use a RAID. But actually backups and a VCS like Git or Subversion should be enough. -

@devs4p said in Partition scheme on BSD for QT development:
rest (~77TB) for QT
My Qt installation is 2.5GB. What are you going to do with 77TB?! Why do you think you need that much space for Qt? I really don't get it.

@devs4p
Absolutely sarcasm/irony! :) I have one 1TB disk, running a Linux VM maximum size of 100MB inside it, where I do Qt development. What the heck are you going to store in yours? :)@JonB @jsulm
Ports building (compiling/maintaing) :::: stupidapp-misc/mc(Midnight Commander) requires 4GB to be built (binary is ~2MB in size), and I build a lot so it will quickly fill up.... This + countless Qt projects (many of them well over 100 GB.....) and I suppose we will be in need for even more space quite soon..... -

We're interested to hear how you come to fill 100GB+ for a Qt project? With what?? And you'll still need 770 of such projects... !

Hi,
You have to give more information about the projects you plan to build. For example the only qtfs project I currently know stands for QuickTime fast start and it’s not big at all and unrelated to Qt.

Updates comming::
@Pablo-J-Rogina Thats exactly this. CI. Or even more specifically AppVeyor as Jenkins is quite shitty with FreeBSD. AV works like a charm. It listens to our repo, fires build event every PR gets accepted and writes both logs and current master to disk.
@SGaist QtFS is our own-made effort to create FS for being exclusively used by Qt* projects.....
@JonB Yes I know pros and cons of ZFS; BTW when you install FreeBSD, it uses ZFS by defualt. -
By FS, do you mean file system ?
-
@JonB close.... File Storage. Dedicated to Qt, meaning isolated (physically) another set of SSDs in different room having absolutely no direct connection with the rest of infrastructure. With only one user having Write Access (rest of the users have READ (and throttled down to 2MB/s + 2GB/24hrs) access only).
