I want to use an ICP vortex controller for disk mirroring (raid 1) in
a server.
If the complete server fails (e.g. processor, network interface, etc.)
I want to take one of the mirrored disk to a "rescue server" and boot
from there.
This "rescue server", in standard mode acting as an ordinary client,
should work with a cheap standard controller maybe a symbios.
As some experts told me the vortex controller initializes "his" disks
in a way, that standard controllers couldn't even recognize any
ext2-filesystem. Booting from that disk doesn't work either.
Questions:
- Are the statements above right?
- Is there any possibility to recognize the filesytem
on a standard controller?
Thanks in advance
Thomas
