The cost of the extra harddisk versus the cost of being down on a 4 span card issomething probably worth considering.Regards,PatrickThank for your reply and advice, Patrick. The reason I didn't add a RAID1 to the server was that I am not sure if RAID1 on SATA II is stable on FC5 yet and also since the HDD isn't hotswap (at least i don't think SATA HDD can hotswap). There will always be a downtime for me. And future expansion will include a standalone mySQL DB for Realtime Asterisk in which many Asterisk server will point to this mySQL server and get sip users and write CDRs too. But this is all testing for now. As I will also need to to deploy a SER to make this all work. But the funny thing is that most of the hardware now it 64-bit, I would need to find high and low to make sure that the HCL is good with FC5. Also for the zaptel driver and sources, I prefer to a compile on it rather than rpm install. So I wanted to make sure that I wouldn't encounter any problems with a compile and don't want to waste my hardware purchase. Is there any special command or switches that I need to add in the make files to compile to 64-bit? Thank you, Patrick and thanks to everyone that has taken the time to read my previous email.

Is there any special command or switches that I need to add in the make files to compile to 64-bit? Afaik you don't need to do anything to compile on x86_64. You might want to check the various Makefiles for settings you would like to tweak. Iirc there are some hardcoded /usr/lib paths ingering around that should probably be /usr/lib64. Don't remember where though.

I think you can also add a third disk that will act as a hot spare. there are already exist SATA hotswap cages, so hotswapping is not a problem if you are using a hotswap compatible controller. If you are thinking in low budget, i recommend whole spare server :-) if not, try something with spare everything :-) (disk,ps,ram,cpu) -- WoodOO-[P]an[G]alaktikan[A]gent-People ][ http://shadow.pganet.com [EMAIL PROTECTED]@RedHat.users ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
