Re: QLogic Support
Thanks Trond. I also have a MSA1500 laying around, so maybe I'll give that a try with an FC4 install.
Incidentally, I've discovered that the qla2200 is detected and maintains a fibre connection without faults under Ubuntu. I haven't yet attempted to build and bind any volumes with it yet, but I'll let you know how this install turns out.
I'm also going to give the Ubuntu qla2200.ko driver a try in Skole sarge and etch and see what happens.
Best Regards,
Mark

We tried using Skolelinux connected to SAN, it was HP-MSA1500. We could
never get qlogic to work so we tried an Emulex card instead. The results
were miserable.
The filesystem got corrupted all the time. We had /skole/tjener/home0 on
SAN and it got remounted read-only several times a week.
We dropped it, connected the SAN to a RHEL4 server and set that up as
"homes" in DNS. It supports qlogic and is also supported by HP. Things
work perfectly now.
If you _do_ get qlogic and Debian to behave I would like to hear about it.
