Has anyone on the group tried to setup ATARAID? This is my third =
go-around upgrading Redhat on a system with a Promise FastTrak 100 TX2 =
controller and two drives. You may or may not know that this is =
essentially an IDE controller that emulates a SCSI to Linux. It is catch =
22, you can't boot to it without a driver and you need to compile a =
driver in the running system. And if you are upgrading you can't get it =
loaded onto the drive without the driver. Promise is always one rev back =
with their drivers, (for Linux that is.)
Every time I do this it makes me want to throw it out the door. I =
eventually get there but I guess that I'm not smart enough to document =
the path.
At this point I am planning to add another drive not involved with the =
RAID with just a /boot partition on it.
Not really a question I'm just venting but if anyone has suggestions I'd =
be happy to hear them.
