I'm reviewing the docs in preparation for installing the software RAID. Specifically RAID 1. The readme for raidtools-0.41 says: "RAID-1 doesn't support mixed SCSI/non-SCSI pairs." Can anyone tell me if this is still the case? TIA d. -- Derek Shaw Business Information Systems Victoria, BC. vo

I have a Supermicro MB with a built-in Adaptec AIC-7895 (Dual UWSCSI 2) which seems to have some stability problems...sometimes. The machine is also SMP which I believe contributes. What happens is that when using some of my SCSI devices the machine will sometimes lock up completely with no messag
