Everything has worked out pretty well for the most part. But I've come into an issue where when I reboot any of them, I'm getting boot-archive service timeouts happening. I found a workaround of increasing the timeout value which brings me to the following. As you can see below in a dmesg output, it's taking the kernel about 8 seconds to detect each of the drives. They're connected via a couple SAS2008 based LSI cards.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Is this normal?</div><div class="">Is there a way to speed that up?</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I've fixed my frustrating boot-archive timeout problem by adjusting the timeout value from the default of 60 seconds (I guess that'll work ok on systems with less than 8 drives?) to 8 seconds * 90 drives + a little extra time = 280 seconds (for the 90 drive systems). Which means it takes between 12-24 minutes to boot those machines up.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><span style="color: rgb(245, 245, 245); font-family: Menlo; font-size: small; background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" class=""># svccfg -s boot-archive setprop start/timeout_seconds=280</span></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I figure I can't be the only one.
