David, Was there an issue with the Fasttrak and the IBM 40s? The reason I'm asking is that your statement "based on Promise's promise of cooperation" leads me to believe that there is a reason that I've experienced the install probs in the controller not recognizing my IBM 40s. Or, have I just read in to your passing remark to mean something that you didn't? Thanks! Rob -----Original Message----- From: David L.

Today I got my new Fasttrak (based on Promise's promise of cooperation) and 2 IBM 40Giggers. I set up mirroring, and installed 7.1 w/ the Promise supplied drivers. Naturally, I was in a pretty big hurry to get something a bit more modern than 2.4.2, and having heard ac kernels include Fasttrak support, I grabbed 2.4.12-ac1. The good news is, it _appears_ to work just fine. Thanks to e2label, I only had to modify the swap line in the fstab, and now the system is up and running. This makes me Very Happy. (tm) However, based on my browsing the mailing list archives and what documentation there is, I'm a little worried - am I playing with fire here? ;-) Raid-1 support sounds like it's sketchy at best... What I'd _like_ to hear is 'hey, if you've gotten that far you're in great shape'. Otherwise, I'll just report back in a few weeks with 'still works for me' or whatever. regards, David _______________________________________________ Ataraid-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ataraid-list
