With OpenSUSE 10.3, sometimes not all drives would be detected at first power-up because they all took so long to spin up one at a time. But when I rebooted all drives were seen. Otherwise no major issues under OpenSUSE 10.3. Have not had those issues with OpenSUSE 11.1, works perfectly. Have tested with a variety of 400GB, 750GB, 1TB and 1.5TB drives. This is with a PCI-X supporting motherboard. My only experience with the board in a PCI slot is with Win2003 Server, no issues. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
