Disclaimer: This is not an OS flame. What kind of problems did you have with Mandrake? I've used Linux RAID under Mandrake before and found it very usable and stable. Right now, our backup server is Mdk 10.1 with the backup spool on a 67GB linear RAID partition (two 36.x GB drives strung together). It's been rock solid, and has already saved us a few times. I'm just curious, because I've found Mdk to be stable and usable in this application...just wondering what kind of problems you were having. j----- k----- -- Joshua Kugler CDE System Administrator http://distance.uaf.edu/ ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
