Hi,
I see in some emails the tables with the tests:
cpu charge, Mb/sec etc
how does it work ? which soft does it ?
thanks

After trying to apply the patch

find /usr/src/linux -follow -name "*.rej" -print

SW RAID is beautiful for a handfull or three of disks, but when you're working
with hundreds of disks the administrative costs of not-so-flexible-if-any

software RAID-0 on this size of systems

We're working on a patch that might make it's way into the next Slack
release. In the meantime, I can suggest you do it completely differently:
a) Make RAID bootdisk.
b) boot up and mkraid
c) modify 'setup' so it understands your md drives
d) install away as if nothing was different
e) boot

Hi everybody,
I just tried to patch a Linux 2.2.14 kernel to make use of the current
software raid. Someone did a minor change to drivers/block/raid0.c
from 2.2.13 to 2.2.14, so one hunk of raid0145-19990824 failed (diff
output below).
I think this should be introduced into the current raid
thought this might interest a few of you... this new rev of Lilo can
boot past the 1024 cyl limit if you have a BIOS newer than 1998...

To do the mkraid you need a raidtab file and for that you need an
editor or it must be copied to the floppy when you create it.
Certainly, but Slackware is nice in that it lets you do whatever you want

Thanks a lot for explaining this!
I'm still trying to outrule potential causes to the
crashes I reported earlier; one by one.
Right now I'm investigating if swap on RAID might be the culprit.
Thanks again to everybody who answered with suggestions and
advice, I've got stuff here to be

easier hot-swapping, and higher level of hardware fault tolerance))
