Subject: [plug] linux SATA (hardware) raid support
greetings!
the company i work for will be purchasing several PC-based servers..
we're eyeing (either) mobo's with onboard SATA raid controllers or SATA
raid controller cards (ICH5 or Promise 20378 based)..i've read on some
forums that linux does not support hardware raid on these controllers..a
work around would be to disable hardware raid on the controllers
BIOS..linux will detect these HDs as "normal" IDE disks therefore denying
our purpose of using SATA HDs (faster transfer rates than parallel ide,
cheaper than SCSI HDs, btw, these servers would not be "that" io
intensive)..
however, some forums say that kernel-2.6.* supports SATA raid
controllers..could anybody confirm what kernel-2.6.* does support??is it
SATA hardware raid??also any experience working with these disks in a
production environment would be enlighting..
p.s. we will be installing slackware on these new machines..
mdaly =)
