RAID and raw devices

Hi, The upcoming Linux kernel 2.4 will include a mechanism for character based disk i/o. Although my favourite DBMS does not yet include support for raw devices under Linux, it is at least announced. My question is: Is Linux software RAID compatible with character based disk i/o? Can I use an md

Hi, I just bought Red Hat 6.2 to set up an intranet database server. One of the reasons for my choice was their claim for improved RAID management. Browsing trough this list, however, I keep reading about RAID patches that should be applied to the kernel sources before compiling. Is the RAID cod

Hi folks. Which RAID hardware is known to work well with linux? Where I work, we have special relationship with Dell, so I think our preference is Dell's hardware, but since this new baby has to be a linux box, if Dell's hardware is known not to work well with linux, then we are willing to look

Re: what does it mean ?

I've found that those hot swap enclosures tend to be a bit more reliable when you buy the SCA versions and only use LVD cabling to connect a group of them to the controller. Calpc and a bunch of other vendors make rather inexpensive units that are designed to hold 4 "drive sleds" with only 2 LVD

The 2.4 kernel tree itself will not, but Linux distributions will. RedHat has been patching their products since 6.1, so I'm thinking SuSE isn't far behind. Marco - Original Message - From: "Corin Hartland-Swann" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, May 24, 2000

Re: what does it mean ?

Try setting your SCSI bus one notch lower (63MBytes/sec, i believe). I had this problem on our RAID set up because the hot-swap box caused too much interference with the signal for 80MByte/sec to work. Underclocking fixed the problem. The SCSI card is the Tekram DC390U2B (SYM8xxx driver). I have

Problems with raidstop and unmounting raid 1

I have a problem that I am having a hard time figuring out. I just set up a new server with Red Hat 6.2, with 2 20GB IDE ata-66 drives. I partitioned each drive into two partitions one swap of 150MB and the second into 9630MB. I configured /dev/md0 for / to boot of the 9630MB mirror and /dev/md1
