[Gllug] IDE RAID

[Simon Faulkner]

Just to square the circle,

I purchased from scan.co.uk

a supermicro motherboard, P4 2.4, 512 Mb RAM & 3 x Promise IDE controllers
(?29 each)

2 x 80 Gb RAID 1 for the /boot and / and swap
4 x 250 Gb RAID 5 for their data

I have just one 250 Gb disk per cable form the promise controllers which
leaves me 2 spare channels for the future...

RH9 allowed me to make the mds in the setup and all looks well :-)

Count those blocks...

Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/md1              40313912   4977180  33288852  14% /
/dev/md0                396608     13585    362547   4% /boot
/dev/md2             723795392     32828 686995824   1% /datadisk
none                    256900         0    256900   0% /dev/shm

Now I've just go to test it...

Simon
