Is there a way to automate the disk failure notification (eg, to send mail to the sys admin)? I have this script called from cron every 5 minutes with an entry like this: */5 * * * * checkmd -v If checkmd fails, cron generates a mail message to the owner of the cron script. ---

I just read a posting from an Linux group, Dated first of this year 3/98 or so... stating that ALR was not supporting Linux? Is this still the case? What I have is a ALR ADAC 3 (Gateway Server) and was wanting to put Linux up on it, and maybe utilize the RAID CARD. Is this still not an option? D

Here we go again. Yet another victim of the obsolete documentation. I don't mind volunteering to put together a basic set of instructions for the new code, but I have no practical experience of RAID-0 or RAID-5, so I'm probably not the best person for this. But someone needs to do this to stop eve

Hi. I spent all day today fiddling with the AMI Raid controller. I'm using Red Hat 5.1 and I sort of got it to work but there are a few problems. What I did was use another machine with an ide drive to compile the kernel with AMI Megaraid support, then I took the drive out of that machine and put
