Are there any known problems using software RAID with the Suse 7.1
distro? I had planned to deploy a pile of web boxes for a client
using Redhat (which I'm very familiar with), but the client prefers
SuSe. It's pretty straightforward (an install of the OS on a
RAID 0 stripe on two SCSI drives +

I have a consulting customer who seems rather insistent on
using these rather than the equivalent Mylex acceleraid
card. Anyone using these in production? Are the drivers
as mature as Leonard's buslogic/mylex code?
Cheers,

Is anyone keeping tabs on the current speed king for hardware and
software RAID 5? With the speed growth of cpus outpacing the
product cycles of RAID cards, I thought the software solution
might be moving into the lead again.

Is anyone on the list using one of these in production for a
bootable array? I would be curious to know how well it performs.
A friend wants me to review a config for a client of his that
is being herded towards the Adaptec 2100S. For historical poor

I've been having custom 24" cables made for use in my rackmount
boxes that use the 3WARE IDE RAID controllers. 18" is always
a bit on the short side. Now if I can only find someone who
will make them AND round them out for me, I'd be in really great
shape.
