Considering moving my nvidia driver enabled 6.8.3 install over to 6.9 RC2. 

1) Is the LSI2008 / driver issue fixed in RC2? I thought I read somewhere this may be an issue

2) can i remove the nvidia plugin (the one that tells me the gpu id)

3) confirming I need to delete my current cache drive and reformat it.  XFS is the correct format for cache drive moving forward

4) anything else to consider?

 

I have this specific LSI controller:

[1000:0072] 02:00.0 Serial Attached SCSI controller: Broadcom / LSI SAS2008 PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS-2 [Falcon] (rev 03)

 

thanks

For number 2, you remove the LSIO plugin and install the Nvidia-Driver plugin.

The Nvidia-Driver installs the driver and the Nvidia docker framework for GPU acceleration in dockers... and it does it in a way that you don't need a custom kernel like the old plugin.

 

I haven't gotten around to the realignment, but you can choose XFS or BTRFS for a single disk, but BTRFS is still the only choice for a pool of disks.
