We have a 2410 in our backup-server working flawlessly with a 2.6.4 kernel. AFAIR it did work with 2.4 during the burn-in test but as soon as we wanted to install the production system it wasn't recognized anymore until we switched to 2.6. >From dmesg: Red Hat/Adaptec aacraid driver (1.1.2-lk1 Mar 17 2004) AAC0: kernel 4.1.4 build 9965 AAC0: monitor 4.1.4 build 9965 AAC0: bios 4.1.0 build 5912 AAC0: serial b9c379fafaf001 scsi0 : aacraid Vendor: ADAPTEC Model: AAR-2410SA RAID5 Rev: V1.0 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 SCSI device sda: 960344832 512-byte hdwr sectors (491697 MB) sda: Write Protect is off sda: Mode Sense: 03 00 00 00 SCSI device sda: drive cache: write through sda: sda1 sda2 sda3 Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 > unlike the 3ware cards (or any other IDE/SATA raid cards i've heard of), they > do have a large (128MB) write-cache - which is essential for raid-5 > performance. We have 4 160GB Maxtor drives attached to it, configured as RAID5. If anyone is interested I can do a quick bonnie++ benchmark, though I don't know if our card has 64MB or 128MB. best regards, Markus -- Markus Oswald <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> \ Unix and Network Administration Graz, AUSTRIA \ High Availability / Cluster Mobile: +43 676 6485415 \ System Consulting Fax: +43 316 428896 \ Web Development -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
