I've been investigating the Intel ICH5R SATA controller for awhile and am having a hard time trying to decide which RAID implementation to go with. Technically this controller is not a RAID controller, but rather uses the BIOS for software RAID support. I could bypass the BIOS's notions of RAID go with ATARAID, but it appears to be deprecated in 2.6 kernels. The other choice is devmapper which works with the BIOS, but it is far from stable according to the author.
This is for an existing server of which I have few details so far. All I know is that it has Redhat on it and will be a complete wipe and start from scratch job. I should be getting ssh access to it later today and can poke around further then. -- Archaic Want control, education, and security from your operating system?
