From 288b4552051b0600cae121cfe7ff7058dee05080 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Laager Date: Sat, 6 Oct 2018 21:20:17 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Debian & Ubuntu: Harmonize the 64-bit text On all versions, this had a mistake, where "computer" was mentioned twice in a row. On Debian, 64-bit was "preferred"; compared to Ubuntu, this seemed to be a softening of it from a requirement (since it is in the System Requirements) section. It's also not really independent of the image; if you're going to use an amd64 Live CD, it is required. But the point of mentioning it is to discourage 32-bit. I have changed the wording to match the ZFS on Linux FAQ and to link to that entry. --- Debian-Stretch-Root-on-ZFS.md | 2 +- Ubuntu-16.04-Root-on-ZFS.md | 2 +- Ubuntu-17.10-Root-on-ZFS.md | 2 +- Ubuntu-18.04-Root-on-ZFS.md | 2 +- 4 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/Debian-Stretch-Root-on-ZFS.md b/Debian-Stretch-Root-on-ZFS.md index fec5937..e5d5d2d 100644 --- a/Debian-Stretch-Root-on-ZFS.md +++ b/Debian-Stretch-Root-on-ZFS.md @@ -5,7 +5,7 @@ ### System Requirements * [64-bit Debian GNU/Linux Stretch Live CD](http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current-live/amd64/iso-hybrid/) -* 64-bit computer (amd64, a.k.a. x86_64) computer preferred +** [A 64-bit kernel is *strongly* encouraged.](https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/wiki/FAQ#32-bit-vs-64-bit-systems) Computers that have less than 2 GiB of memory run ZFS slowly. 4 GiB of memory is recommended for normal performance in basic workloads.
