Installing this card in a Linux server, but disk initialization is slw. Has
anyone had any experience with it? It's been working for 9 hours now,

Hi all,
i was wondering if anyone knows of a patch or driver for Redhat 6.0 to make
a mylex dac960E eisa controller work.
Thanks

That seems like a premature conclusion. I run RAID on several
multi-processor systems without problems. They are all currently running
2.2.7, with the 2.2.6 raid
Hi,
I've determined that there appears to be a problem somewhere in the RAID
code that is not SMP friendly. I don't imagine it is in the lower bowels of
the system, but I could be wrong.

Hello,
I'm very new to using raid but have gone through as many of the online docs
as I could find and still have a few questions. I am running Linux 6.0 with
the raid tools that come standard 0.90-3.
I want to setup a level 1 bootable raid to mirror the entire root system.

Pretty simple. If your swap space becomes corrupted or you lose the

Why does anybody want to use swap-on-RAID with any RAID level than 1?
Wouldn't it be much faster if you used multiple swap spaces?

yes swapping is safe. It's _slightly_ justified with RAID1 to be fair -

This From address is not helpful at all.
Somebody changed something on vger, and now we can no longer tell who the

thanks, a lot.
I could not have said it better.

Currently, it's possible to use three ide controllers at once for a limit of
6 interfaces. This is a limit in the ide kernel code. Apparently, though,
expanding it should be easy. A

Thanks for the info. I have just rolled a new patch and I am including this

always a good thing, especially in a kernel, but that's just my humble opinion.
