Re: Promise Fasttrack s150 TX4 raid issues

[Jim Perrin <perrin@xxxxxxxx>]

As of right now I only have sda, and am using the binary drivers from 
Promise. My problem came about trying to add a label option to the 
partition, I kept getting duplicate echos that would not allow me to mount 
via label=/foo but I could mount perfectly using /dev/sda. Thanks for your 
response. I have not had any experience with the open source drivers yet. 
Do they yield any performance boost? If you could post a link to or about 
them I would be grateful. Thanks again
