Though I can confirm that the SmartArray 5 work like a charm with Debian Woody (using the cciss module) the ProLiant DL320 are IDE-Machines which don't have a SCSI controller but a IDE-RAID. I assume it's based on the Fasttrack chipset which works with Debian woody out-of-the-box too. You can access the array via /dev/ataraid/d0, the partitions will be called /dev/ataraid/d0pX. (Maybe worth mentioning: I recently had some problems with never revisions of the Fasttrack TX-2 chipset which doesn't seem to work with the modules in 2.4 kernels. Older controllers from the same series worked just fine, but newer one are not even detected by the kernel) Having said that, the ProLiant ML330 come with an ATA-RAID which is based on an LSI chipset (MegaIDE) which is not supported by Debian - the only driver available is a half GNU, half closed-source driver. Furthermore the drives attached to those IDE-Ports are not accessible as "normal" IDE devices (i.e. /dev/hda) so you basically get a machine without any usable IDE interface except for one which is attached to the CD-ROM. If you buy one of these machines you'll either have to use a model with SCSI controller or install an extra IDE-controller. best regards, Markus -- Markus Oswald <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> \ Unix and Network Administration Graz, AUSTRIA \ High Availability / Cluster Mobile: +43 676 6485415 \ System Consulting Fax: +43 316 428896 \ Web Development
