I know, the hardware controller I'm using now is a Compaq Computer Corporation Smart-2/P RAID and I'm quite happy with it, I havn't seen any tests of this against Linux MD. I am aware that Linux MD is faster and better than almost any IDE raid controllers out there, but the Smart2 feels very good to me. > - There are different filesystems for linux available and you may get > much better performance choosing the right filesystem No, the data and log gets to live on raw devices without filesystems, so there will be no filesystem between SAPDB and the disks. The filesystem is ext3 and it's quite fast enough, the main load on the box is not on the filesystem. -- Regards Flemming Frandsen aka.
