Non disk devices on ICP Vortex controller

1998-10-15 Thread mike
Hi, I have a machine with an ICP-Vortex controller, and I have previously noticed people from ICP posting to this list, so I wonder if someone with some experience might see fit to shed some light on this. The machine in question has a GDT 6537 controller, and has 4 disks on this. It also has an

I think you're using the latest 2.0.35-2 kernel source/headers, use the original 2.0.35 kernel/headers. Unfortunately this doesn't have the latest patches (patch-2.0.35.gz) for for the entire kernel. On Wed, 14 Oct 1998 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > It seems like Red Hat 5.1's kernel (at least,

RAID of any level is NOT to be considered a 'backup' method. There are no assurances built into raid for data reliability. (ie. A program which writes corrupted data, a user who types an rm -rf command in a wrong directory), et al. RAID only protects you against a disk failure. Nothing more. T

"quiet" RAID init?

1998-10-15 Thread Florian Jenn
Hi there! Sorry if you got this message twice, but it didn't show up on the list the first time... I've got a question about RAID. (I'm using the raid0145-19981005-C-2.0.35 patch and the raidtools-19981005-B-0.90.) Is there a way to make the raid driver spit out less information at boot-up/ini

RAID-0 and Adaptec 2940UW for an INN setup

1998-10-15 Thread Matthew D. Lammers
In an effort to keep performance to a maximum, I am preparing to migrate a news server to RAID-0. It is currently Linux (Slack 3.5), and running well, so I believe the boost to disk striping will be a benefit, no matter how small. I would like some input on the following hardware choices:

RAID and Quota's

Hi there, the subject line may be somewhat misleading - my question is more to do with quota's than RAID. Perhaps someone can help me anyway... Where I am working we are giving design students large amount of disk space for keeping digital video and other monstrous files. These students can be ver

I've enjoyed reading the rapid pace of RAID advancement in this list. I recently nearly convinced a client to utilize a RAID5 setup for a backup system (rather than a multi-tape system or a bigger tape). I nearly had it in, until the question of fire survivability came up I dislike tap
