Usually control data are saved on disks, but still that depends on your raid control manufacture, expensive controllers like DDN and Netap save the data one three different disks, that allows you to easily replace the controller. Backup your data before making any changes.

I'd like to swap the controller to see if the problems goes away. I suspect that means I will loose the disk configuration. I don't expect a definite answer but does anyone know if I can simply swap the card (same manufacture, possibly different model) and it pick up the disk configuration?
