Even a hybrid card like that might be worth using (since it gives you redundancy before Linux loads), but every one I have read about either does not support Linux well (or at all) and/or eats data when a disk actually fails. In the Adaptec case, at least the former is true. >> Do you happen to know if the driver for that card is GPL'ed, i.e., to >> go into the mainstream kernel? > > adaptec has also posted the driver source on their website, > linux.adaptec.com.
