Consider hot swappable SCSI RAID 1 instead of IDE. You'll appreciate it every couple of years when you lose a disk but the PBX stays up. I hot swap on my 3Ware IDE RAID card all the time. Aye and with SATA hot swapping is even easier provided the driver notifies the kernel that the disk

Odd, I have absolutely *zero* issues with Promise PATA cards... I use strictly software RAID on both SCSI and IDE on Linux 2.4. Never had issues with the kernel failing due to I/O load on rebuild or dealing with failed drives. Note: You can easily throttle the I/O bandwidth used for

I used software raids and want to get away from them. I really really like Microlite's BackupEdge tape backup software. BackupEdge does not work with a software raid, only a hardware raid. The second kicker was that the Promise (or any other) hardware IDE raids are considered software raid

I've got a nearly identical system running on Slackware 9.1 with a Megaraid controller. Works better than expected! Niles I've got a Dual Xeon system Digium Quad T1 and an Idle T1 circuit that I can experiment with. I've been wanting to use Redhat with software Raid 1 on an Asterisk server.
