OK, as I mentioned elsewhere I do have hda and hdd installed (but not
part of the raid). I now installed an hde so all the disks are either
masters of slaves with master present.
The problem is just the same.
I now changed my test and not only hammered the raid, but also hammered
hda directly. Withing a few minutes I got a DMA timeout of hdb, both
hda and hdb were reset, the raid went into degraded mode, and I needed
to power the machine down/up before hdb was properly recognised. I
re-added hdb to the raid, which reconstructed it and brought it online.
In other words there surely is something wrong here. This setup is not
usable.
I will next
- flash the latest BIOS
- build latest kernel (2.4.4-ac17 last I checked)
and it this is unstable then I will have to assume a mobo replacement is
required.
So, can anyone in the know give a straight answer to:
Is the KT7-RAID compatible with Linux kernel 2.4?
