Maybe you should research the problems of your raid solution. http://www.acnc.com/04_01_01.html IDE raid 1 should be avoided. IDE drives themselves can cause degraded performance on a machine and raid 1 would double the IDE activity. If you were to use a hardware raid option, you would reduce the likely hood of degraded performance due to IDE activity. I don't know if SATA helps any for you, but you need to look into what you can handle. -- Steven Critchfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
