I have a accelraid 250 w/32mb of ram. I've setup 3 ibm 18 lzx drives (18gig 10krpm LVD drives) on it in a raid 5 configuration. Everything comes up great and functions just fine - but: If I soft reboot the system (ie:ctrl-alt-del or init 6) the dac960 will fail to detect the drives. If I hard-reboot (power off-power on) then everything is peachy. this is a mild annoyance - I'm open to suggestions. I've talked to mylex tech support and they said "change/remove the terminator to see if thats the problem - I did this. - no other suggestions are forthcoming) As well in raid-5 formation the performance on these drives (read and write) is not so hot. I ran bonnie with a -s of 1500MB and the write performance came in at about 5.5-6MB/s - not wonderful - Read was better about 18MB/s - but I thought it would be MUCH better than that. Suggestions are welcome here too. Thanks -sv
