Funny you asked about it.. I got my Promise Ultra100TX2 card last friday (for use in my dual AMD box) and it FUBARed my 60GB LV... :(
It worked, but slowly, and I got hundreds of "hdg: Error: ReadRequest bla bla bla" (I don't have the syslog here right now) and then it just frose... After it frose 3 times I couldn't mount it anymore. reiserfsck fucked it up big time (because of the hardware/driver errors) and I had to reformat it, losing weeks of work... When I did mkfs on it it said "successful", although it spewed hde/hdg errors in /var/log/messages. A fsck right after mkfs said that the filesystem was corrupt. When I moved the disks so they were all on the internal IDE-ports again it worked flawlessly. I'll write a more detailed bugreport to Alan tonight. So it seems that the Promise Ultra100-cards does NOT work on 2.4.x. Not on 2.4.9-ac10 anyway... Regards Per Wigren > Is there someone who managed to make a promise ultra100 work on an alpha > 2.4.x?
