2000-03-13 Thread dave-mlist
I have a chassis with ten new 5GB Ultra-Wide SCSI drives all wired up. I will be replacing the motherboard/CPU and installing Linux. The box will be used as a network file server (NFS) and intranet web server with a MySQL database. I expect to use RAID-5. What is the best-supported (under Linux

Which patch? Kernel 2.2.14

2000-03-13 Thread Clinton Bittel
Anyone know what patch I need for a Promise Ultra ATA66 on the 2.2.14 kernel? I tried patching ide_2_2_14_2124_patch.gz raid-2_2.14-B1.gz And still cannot find a mention of the Ultra 66 or 33 when I go to recompile the kernel. Is it already built in?? I did find support for 2.2.12 but no

Another amusing thing about those controllers (once a driver becomes available) is the cheap hack to turn the cheap $35 dual channel ATA66 controller into the $130 dual channel RAID card by adding one resistor. Details at: http://www.geocities.com/promise_raid/english.htm I'm going to start usin

IDE hardware RAID

Has anyone played with the FastTrak66 Ultra ATA/66 RAID Card (info at http://www.promise.com/Products/ideraid/ft66page.htm)? Is anyone working on a driver for Linux (I've seen that the FreeBSD people are at it)? I think the idea of having IDE HW RAID is pretty cool. They even provide an IDE hotswa
