Sorry if this isn't best fit on this list :/
The question here is:
* If I have a software RAID enabled system and my server fails, I can move
all the disks to another server and use the same /etc/raidtab to get disks
working again.
* If I have a hardware RAID system and server fails (also the RAID
controler) can I just move the disks to another server with the same RAID
card model and have the system working back again?
I'm trying to do this cheap near-HA solution working. The software RAID
takes too much time to rebuild a failed 40Gb RAID system, so I'm thinking
of moving to a HW solution.
Still not sure if using another RAID card (even same model) will use the
same RAID config.
Please reply back to me, to avoid disturbing others :)
If you want, I can produce a SUMMARY.
Thanks in advance.
