I just got the cable and adapters I need to bring life back into Geocentric.(1) 6x '80 to 68pin' SCSI adapters and a arms length SCSI 68pin round cable to tie them all together. I must say, I pray too little. I mount the 6 drives into the IBM Z-Pro chassis. Route the cables, attach the adapters, power; now give it a shot! BAAM!!
Kidding, everything works well. My new IBM Z-Pro is now equip with the following: Proc: 1Ghz PIII Xeon RAM: 1GB SCSI: Adaptec AIC-7899 Disk: 6x 36MB Ultra SCSI disks CDRW: LiteOn 48x24x48 TAPE: Dell PowerVault 110T Now I am installing Debian Woody. A fresh install. I cannot find how during the installation to setup software RAID. Anyone know? I also need some advise how to partition the drives. I figure most of it will be one large partition (~80-100GB RAID 5), and a few other partitions for things like swap, root, boot, homes, etc. I am of the school that has had only a few partitions in the past. One for boot, one for root and one for swap. I understand that this is not the best way to configure ones system. Any advise? Please be detailed. Thanks so much to all for making playing with linux such a great experience!
