Hi

I have two servers with Compaq Smart-2 LVD controllers both run fine with the 
cpqarray.o module.

NOTE: configure the controlers for read caching write through  I belive it is called. 
You do not want to loose data that was
supposed to be synced to the drive but is cached and waiting to be written by the 
controller.

PS On RH 7.2 using Ext3 this may be less of a problem due to jounaling. We have had 
the servers running for two years and we have
had no serious problems, but a full fsck runs every time we start the machine after 
moving or power failure indicating the drives
are not "clean". I am not sure how the cards are configured, and they are an hour 
away, which is why I was so determined to use
harware raid.
