When/if you get a hardware RAID controller, be sure to get a hardware controller that you can reliably purchase and replace. A friend of mine had some pretty bad trouble when his hardware controller fried and he couldn't easily get a replacement. I'd actually suggest getting a h/w controller that uses an internal format that is supported by some software implementation, so you have more options to rescue the array. (I think mdadm can read some h/w ctrlr data formats (??)) Best of luck. -- Kristleifur -- 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
