i have not had any problems with compiling the 3ware tools
- works fine for me .. most any 2.4.2x kernels
but is also the other red-devil's os ... not debian
- depending on the amt of "original sized data" ...
i recommend against $500 3ware card and tell them that the other
way to protect data is to buy $500 of extra disks in a $200 pc ...
( 2x 300GB disks or 4x 200GB disks.. or ?? )
- usually more reliable for multiple reasons ..
- 2 servers instead of 1 ...
- 2nd set of live data ( east coast - west coast )
- not raided .. so no raid problems or controller problems
- rsync data to "backup" when you feel like making a copy
- you can use sw raid instead and have all kinds of raid
monitoring toos ...
- blah blah blah ..
