Hi,
is it able to make a small array across all disks? Like a 10GB array?
Then progressively make larger arrays?
What about making a small array using only three disks? Then add some disks?
It might help in diagnosing the problem.

Hi,
I am attempting to run Fedora 13 on a SunFire X4140 with an external Sun
StorageTek enclosure with 7x2Tb disks. Fedora
13 boots of a single internal SAS drive.
The HBA is an Adaptec AAC-RAID (rev 09). I have successfully created a RAID
array using the adaptec BIOS. I have also
successfully created a logical volume which is 7.99Tb.
I attempted to create a filsystem on the the 7x2Tb RAID array from Fedora 13
but it didn't work. The computer hangs
periodically and generates kernel warnings.
I suspected that it is an issue related to the Adaptec RAID driver, so I
downloaded the supported drivers from Sun.
http://www.intel.com/support/go/sunraid.htm
The most recent drivers for the external HBA adapter as supplied by Sun are at the level
"aacraid_1.1.5_2463". I compiled
these into the Fedora kernel today and recreated the filesystem, however, I had
the same problem.
I have installed RedHat EL5 on another partition to help with diagnosing the
problem.
I've rebooted into Redhat and created the filesystem using the same command.
This seemed to run perfectly fine (however I
stopped it early because it would take several hours to complete).
The baseline version of the Adaptec driver installed by Redhat EL5 is "Adaptec
aacraid driver 1.1-5[2437]-mh4"
It appears that there are no hardware issues with the 7x2Tb array. I would
prefer not to upgrade the firmware because it
seemed to cause problems with RedHat EL5.
Is there anyone in Sydney who had experience with running Fedora on Sun/Oracle
Hardware?
Thanks
Robbie.
