Has anyone on the list seen or used a Supermicro H8SSL-R10 motherboard?
We too are waiting for SMicro to release the Serverworks boards with
**functioning** RAID on them. For example we are using their 1020P-T
server, but for now have to use a 3rd party card, such as the 3Ware 9550
to get this working.
As I understand it the problem is something in the SWorks/Broadcom chip.
OK. Thanks for confirming this problem.
As far as "RAID" goes, from what I understand the SWorks is still a
"FRAID" device, so I think your idea about using mdadm or similar
software RAID makes good sense for a RAID1 scenario. About the only
drawback that counts (to some) would be the lack of disk hot-swap
capability.
Do you know if the dmraid tools
http://people.redhat.com/~heinzm/sw/dmraid/ can be used with the H8SSL-i
or if this only work with the R10 style RAID?
Cheers,
Bruce
