Hi;
After playing with RAID setups unsuccessfully for quite a while, I
think I finally have a raid1 setup working. What I would like to ask is
if the participants of this list could 'peer-review' my setup before I
make it (the raid system) a production system for my organization.
Kernel : Stock 2.0.36 with no patches
Raidtools: 'rpm -qa|grep raid' returns 'raidtools-0.50beta10-2'
SCSI controller: Adaptec 7880 (this is a true 7880 builtin on a
Intel MB).
/etc/raidtab:
<start raidtab>
raiddev /dev/md0
# General parameters
raid-level 1
nr-raid-disks 2
chunk-size 256
# RAID disks
device /dev/sdb1
raid-disk 0
device /dev/sdc1
raid-disk 1
<end raidtab>
The /dev/md0 device took about 20-25 mins to create.
I have yet to do any performance tests, but am not anticipating much as
the drives are a pair of Seagate 'Hawk' SCSI-2 Narrow devices (not known
for their performance individually).
Any input/opinions/pointers are greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Chris
