> - correct hardware support (is 1Gbit/s network working correctly?, > hotswaping, RAID controller) Just FYI, I admin a few servers with SCSI/160 drivers in software RAID setups (using mirroring exclusively so performance isn't an issue). Hotswapping drives is a piece of cake. I have a standard RAID configuration file, so replacing a drive is as simple as: 1) Shutting down the drive inside the RAID 2) Using atacontrol to stop the drive 3) Swapping it out with a new one 4) Using atacontrol to rescan the bus 5) Fdisk and disklabel the drive 6) Typing "vinum create /etc/raidconfig" to layout the drive 7) Typing "vinum start <subdisk names>" to sync the data If I had to do it more than once a year or so, I'd probably throw it all into a script with "Press any key to continue" prompts. -- Kirk Strauser In Googlis non est, ergo non est.
