It would be better to configure the RAID in hardware ala Dell PERC BIOS. See if Compaq supports hardware RAID, they probably do. > Does anyone have some good advice on compaq servers?

Btw, $9,000 is PLENTY of dinero for this. > Any thoughts anyone? How hard is setting up Raid 5 in Linux? If it's done in hardware, there's nothing to set up in Linux (linux just sees it as a big drive for you to partition). --Matt -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
