Stephen,
Let me say up front that most of my (work) experience comes from SCSI. But
the principles hold for ATA drives as well.
One thing that is unique to ATA drives is the fact that you get only 2 disks
per channel - one master and one slave.
It is also my understanding that that IDE

It is not possible to use the so-called hardware RAID controller as RAID in
8.1 as the software to do so does not exist.

I boot from RAID. I mean: partition "/boot" is not on raid device, while
partition "/" is a raid 1 device. You just should create a small "/boot"
partition (about 50 MB)...
Thanks! I'm rather

Of course this
First off, any SCSI card will do, though some won't do well with hot swap.
Look into each one seprately and make your decision.
Second, under linux, Mylex cards are the BOMB. They've had some availability
issues lately though. We use DPT cards, but since Adaptec has bought DPT, we
aren't
works equally well, I'd rather spend $700 on IDE
then $4000 for SCSI.

I am not sure if you're going to have any luck with hardware raid,
espescially with cards like this. I hope you have researched this well
(read the relevant HOWTOs, kernel docs etc) and are sure that your
kernel supports it.
If you do have success setting up the raid, maybe you would want to
