While this does not help your situation, DPT does provide
a 2.2.5 kernel patch which continues to apply cleanly (and works
great) up to 2.2.13.
I've been using it with a PM3754U2 card with their external
DPT-RS/7UW with five drives in a RAID-5 for ~3 months.
: Hello,
:
: I am new to RAID and I want to use a hardware solution for a
: very disk
: intensive application on my Dual P2. I have found several
: vendors who carry
: Linux drivers for their Ultra2 products: DPT Decade PM1554U2, Mylex
: AccelRAID 150/250, ICP Vortex GDT6518RD, Syred Cruiser.
: However, none of the
: drivers seem to be offered in the kernel distribution, but
: rather as binary
: modules. Also, the drivers are only advertised as working with kernel
: 2.0/2.2. As I require kernel 2.3.30+ for >2GB filesize, I am
: skeptical to
: the value of these drivers. Am I missing something? Is there
: a company that
: is particularly open with their drivers and has recent kernel support?
:
: While I'm at it, does anyone know if the RAID SCSI160
: products will get
: Linux support soon? The Mylex AccelRAID 352 and DPT Decade
: PM1564U3 look
: nice, and since I'm starting from scratch, I might as well
: pay the extra
: bit.

: Thank you,
