I don't know the stability of software RAID1 with SATA either. In spite of having to take the box down to replace one of the broken disks, you can do it at a time that suits you/your customers best. I think you can also add a third disk that will act as a hot spare. [snip] > Also for the zaptel driver and sources, I prefer to a compile on it > rather than rpm install.

You might want to check the various Makefiles for settings you would like to tweak. Iirc there are some hardcoded /usr/lib paths ingering around that should probably be /usr/lib64. Don't remember where though.
