I have to agree with Leonard (big surprise)... we have had two large
server machines in continuous service for a while with the Mylex RAID

I'm running the Mylex driver 2.2.5 on a two-disk RAID1 production box
(racked here on an ISP). I've changed the firmware to 4.07-07 listed on
the page for the driver, and stress-tested it for a couple of days before
shipping.
The setup was a bit flaky to start off with, but the firmware switch a
