I have an Intel SE7500WV2 Motherboard in an Intel SR1300 chasis and am looking to put this box into production with a mirrored hard drive pair (RAID 1). For various reasons I can only use RedHat 7.2 (running a management application that requires 7.2). I would however like to use a more recent kernel, either RedHat's latest kernel update for 7.2 or 2.4.20(|-ac2). I currently have 2.4.20-ac2 running with the ataraid driver and things seem to be working fine, but the box isn't in production yet. I'm looking for some information/opinions on what's the safest was to run this server in production with the RAID1 setup? -Use software raid (md) and the ide devices? -Use the Fasttrak software raid (ataraid)? -Use the original RH 7.2 kernel (2.4.7 IIRC) w/the Promise provided drivers? -Other suggestions? Any help would greatly be appreciated! -- Edward Muller Interlix - President Web Hosting - PC Service & Support Custom Programming - Network Service & Support Phone: 417-862-0573 Cell: 417-844-2435 Fax: 417-862-0572 http://www.interlix.com
