Hi
I have been using Linux on my web servers since 1995. I started with
Slackware and then graduated to Redhat ending with my last build
(current server) Redhat 9 plus a *few* changes since it has been
discontinued.
Anyways, time for a new server...
I have a Pentium D Dual Core server with 3 250 Gb SATA drives in a Hot
Swap Serial ATA Cage complete with "Intel Matrix v5.6.1002 ICH7R wRAID5
and am trying to install Fedora 6 on it.
When I try to install with RAID5 enabled I get an "exception
occurred..this is most likely a bug......" However if I change the to
RAID1 it all goes fine. Does anyone have a clue if I am dreaming getting
this working with RAID5? Do I need some drivers?
thanks in advance for your time, Terry
I have several system working using software RAID-1/5/6. I configure the
"RAID" controller as JBOD, have a mirrored /boot (100GB) and RAID-5 swap
(pick a size), then RAID-5 for the rest. I have commented elsewhere
about most SATA controllers, my opinion hasn't changed.
