It came up. I had module deps problems, so I went init 1, then on my way back to init 3 I got a kernel panic. Don't know if it's related to raid though. I somehow doubt it. I would just feel a whole lot better if someone released a patch for 2.2.2 that applied without any fixing. -jeremy >

Re: swap over soft-RAID = use a swapfile ?

I believe I read in the RAID HowTo that you shouldn't put swap memory on a RAID; the swap daemon stripes it automatically over multiple partitions. Don't know if it's anywhere near redundant though. -Robin >Hi, > >I heard that actually soft-raid for Linux can't swap over a /dev/md* >device. > >

swap over soft-RAID = use a swapfile ?

1999-02-24 Thread Benno Senoner
Hi, I heard that actually soft-raid for Linux can't swap over a /dev/md* device. Someone suggests that putting enough RAM into a box, can avoid swapping, but I think it is safe to have some swap space, in the case a process eats up much memory for short time, to prevent that pages of executable

For anyone who may have tried to test the 0.96 driver I released a few days ago--I forgot to change one last thing in the megaraid.h that I put out, effectively making the MULTI_IO flag useless. The following patch, applied to the 0.96 megaraid.h will make the multi-io support work: (if you aren

Yup... Don't get me wrong, I love this stuff... Ever since I saw DiskSuite I knew I wanted it on Linux... and thanks to some very talented people on this list, we don't have long to wait. I think this is a good weapon in the battle to target workgroup servers currently dominated by NT... Hopeful

Ahh, but that would imply that it wasn't alpha software. one must remember that however stable it is, those who know have yet to release raidtools 1.0 and nomatter how much good it is... one should remember that. It has proven itself to be really nice in my experience, but I might hesitate
