Going RAID
« on: September 16, 2002, 12:06:00 AM »
Hi

I'm running an E-Smith server on a 7200rpm Seagate Barracuda ATAIV hard disc. The temperature inside the case is quite hot even with a case fan. So for the data protection I was wondering that maybe using RAID mirroring would be a good idea. I would probably use two 40GB Western Digital 5400rpm or 7200rpm drives but then comes the question. Which IDE RAID controller chip or adapter does E-Smith support? I found the list of SCSI and ethernet adapters that are supported by E-Smith but nothing about IDE RAID controllers.

Also If you could give me some tips about installing E-Smith server on a mirrored RAID system I'd be thankful.


Greetings,
