RE: Argh, more problems with SCSI and RAID

2000-02-06 Thread Rainer Mager
Hi all, I'm back and looking for more advice. Ok, so I got my SCSI stuff running, seemingly smoothly, and decided to try out RAID again. I started up md0 with 4 drives and 1 spare (actually the spare was just another partition on one of the base 4 drives but what the heck). I th

Multiple responses to responses in 1 message, I hope no one gets confused... First off, I did some testing with normal SCSI (no RAID) (yes, I do know this is a RAID mailing list, but everyone is being so helpful I hope I'm forgiven ;-). I wrote simultaneously to each of my 4 SCSI drives as fast
