The system disk is a separate 80 GB IDE disk. The SATA disks are confugured into 2 striped (one hardware raid, one software raid) logical volumes (1.5 TB each). The box and the hot-swap disk enclosure is el-cheapo stuff from Hard Data in Edmonton, AB (works great!). This system has been rock solid from day one, running RedHat 9 (32-bit), then Fedora 1 (32-bit), than Fedora 2 and 3 (64-bit). I use the 3ware driver that comes with the Red Hat kernels, the additional monitoring tools from 3ware do not work. SMART monitoring works via "smartctl -a -d 3ware,0 /dev/twe0". -- Konstantin Olchanski Data Acquisition Systems: The Bytes Must Flow!
