hi ya
none of the onboard raid stuff works ( properly )...
- test it... pull the cable and see if it stil boots
and try it the other way with the other ide cable...
- if it works... than they may have fixed some of
the raid mirroring problems in hw ( ie their firmware )
- in your box..sounds like you have $$$... buy a real hardware
raid controller... and skip the (useless) scsi controllers
- drooling config ?? ( if ide mode ... or sdxx mode too )
boot off hda or hdc
- stripe hda to hdd
- stripe hdc to hdb
/home is raid5 ... ( mirror that too if one is paranoid )
than backup /home to /home.backup ( another raid array )
- i dont like hotswap...
- whatever caused the failure could propagate that failure
to the new hotswap disks... now you lose 2 disks..
- when things fail.... i like to know why before throwing
more hardware into the dying/dead box...
c ya
