we've had mediocre experiences with linux software RAID at work, and I've had mediocre experiences with it at home. it works; but sometimes the box falls over anyway when a drive fails, and it's a decent amount of trouble to get the array rebuilt after you replace the drive. I usually figure on an hour of labor to do that, once its all said and done. Considering that labor is usually upwards of $150/hr, and a 2-port 3ware controller is $130; it's pretty simple math to figure out which is better. we've had nothing but good luck with the dozens of 3ware controllers that we have in service. I heartily recommend them to everyone. -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
