SCSI Spindown question...

Question for the list SCSI gurus... Is there any code that will allow SCSI drives to spin down after X amount of unused time? I have 3 different RAID 0 arrays (7 3 and 4 drives) that are in my server system. The data on them is not often updated and is backed up whenever it is.. (Which is

You don't have to put lilo on the boot partitions. It can go on the MBR. Lilo needs to point to files on a non-raided partition, not necessarily be on that partition itself. Sorry, on the MBR is what I meant... The following /etc/lilo.conf should work for /dev/sda (substituting

If we don't already have a HOWTO section on this issue, we probably should add one. We've seen more and more questions on this topic of late... Just my half-nybble. On a similar note, wouldn't it be possible to boot from RAID-1/5 using a similar method if the chunk size was greater than the

Just a little FYI for everyone. The new 2.2.12 kernel by VA Linux Systems (they do a few things to make it run better on their hardware, YMMV) has software RAID and DAC960 support already patched in as well as a few other goodies. ftp.valinux.com/pub/kernel/linux-2.2.12-6/6.0/optional/ for

I've been pondering this as well. As I see it, software raid is faster than hardware raid and you can save the cost of the raid hardware but at a site where there is no sysadmin it may be better to put in hardware raid. I'd also recommend purchasing a second raid controller or a second identical
