Craig, I was able to confirm that the two machines in question which exhibited the problem both run BIOS version 107. However they were not set to AHCI mode, but rather, Native IDE mode (and I did not try re-running the provisioning on those). Using Native IDE mode has never caused us a problem with either performance or provisioning on those machines in the past; we routinely load up Fedora and CentOS without issue on those boxes. Also note that on a similarly equipped system which instead runs a DG965SSCK board, BIOS 1669 (not the latest, but the only BIOS that correctly jives with 8GB of RAM in most 32 bit OSs without jumping through a bunch of hoops), and AHCI mode manually set by me prior to provisioning, I can confirm that the same problem exists with that box as well. Hope that helps. -Ray p.s. For some reason I did not receive a copy of either of the replies to this thread to my gmail account. Granted, I'm not subscribed to gluster-users, but most listserves make everything Just Work(tm) if the respondants do Reply All, by including the respondant's email address as well as the listserv's address. If you did in fact hit Reply All, maybe something is buggered in the gluster-users listserv? >Ray - > Can you try something for us?
