Re: Why no raid modules?
Hi all:
I can now confirm that RAID-1, at least, works just fine on
the ultra platform.
I'm running and booting off RAID-1. Ultra5, potato release,
slightly patched up to support 2.4.9 kernel. The RAID arrays
are formatted with ext3, so I can confirm that works too :)
The only slight problem is that it seems the kernel doesn't
autodetect the partitions as being RAID, even when I mark
them as 0xFD type. However, an 'append="md=0,/dev/sda1,/dev/sde2"'
in /etc/silo.conf did the trick, for now.
smooth:/# df
Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/md1 3803344 939432 2670708 26% /
/dev/md0 62653 9856 49562 17% /boot
I'm running bonnie right now, and will post the results later.
Cheers.
Keith
