Jim, If you have the PCI space and the cards, maybe re-construct the whole thing with each drive on a seperate controller... That will give you faster access, as each controller can allocate it's 20mb/sec to each drive. At 07:41 PM 12/12/1999 +, Jim Ford wrote: > >It's all worked so well

Abandoned root Raid0 - success with root Raid5!

1999-12-12 Thread Jim Ford
I earlier posted a message describing my difficulties with booting root Raid0. From the start I was uneasy about the vulnerabilty of my suggested setup, so I later decided to get another 1Gig disk and go for Raid5. This seems to be the most popular mode and therefore well supported by experi

RAIDtools for kernel 2.3.29

1999-12-12 Thread Andre Pang
Hi, I've been succesfully using raidtools-0.90 (from ftp.kernel.org:/pub/linux/daemons/raid/alpha) for the 2.2.x kernel range but I've been unable to get them to work with 2.3.29. Is there a more recent of the raidtools I should be using, and if so, where do I get them from? I've search
