Memory buffer corruption with Raid on PPC

I have linux 2.2.3 with raid014519990309.. patch. On a PPC (Mac G3) system, I am getting what seems to be memory buffer courruption when using raidstart. The same kernel source run with i386 architecture seems to be fine. To show the problem, I do something like the following... # cd ~me #

Swap on raid

Hi folks, we are trying to set up a mirrored (raid-1) system for reliability but it is not possible according to the latest HOWTO to swap onto a raid volume. Is there any change on this? Has anyone set up a system like this with/without swap configured and what is your experience? We have

First hand recommendations for HW RAID ?

I'm a fan of SW RAID (a motherboard with 3 LVD busses, 2 EIDE busses, and 1 W bus kind of satisfies our disk IO requirements), but I've being pressured to buy some HW RAID for our "main" NFS servers. The suggestion is either AMI 438 (which I was suprised not to see mentioned in

Re: First hand recommendations for HW RAID ?

I myself use a AMI 428 MegaRAID II controller in a Dell PowerEdge 2300. According to the driver info (version 0.93 distributed by Jeffrey Jones of AMI) it also supports the 438 board. Kees Metzger Philips Corporate IT Piete Brooks wrote: I'm a fan of SW RAID (a motherboard with 3 LVD

What RAID controller do I buy?

Hi guys! I'm looking for some advice. Our IT department is going to buy us a development server for me to put Linux onto. They are determined to go with a Hardware RAID solution and a multiprocessor motherboard. I would be _very_ grateful if any of you could advise me on hardware that is very

Swapping to a file should work, but if I remember correctly you get horrible performance. Joe -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 14, 1999 9:36 AM To: Linux Raid Subject: Swap on raid Hi

Re: Swap on raid

Errr? It wasn't a month ago that this was not possible because it needed to allocate memory for the raid and couldn't because it needed to swap to do it? Was I imagining this or have you guys been working too hard! Either way, brill! James On Wed, 14 Apr 1999, Ingo Molnar wrote: On 14
