I have a pc clone with an lfs version6.3 os that was builded from a live CD. It got on the internet
today with Lynx (27mar09). Surprise! Surprise! Thanks to all involved from various time periods and

gave it away once. Glad...

Dell has historically had a pretty low-end line of RAID cards (the PowerEdge Expandable RAID Controller, or PERC for short) that have required tons of time and care to get them operating at a reasonable level. This blog post will cover my experiences with the PERC6/E line of cards (which aren't that bad, especially compared to previous versions) and how to get optimal performance out of them on Dell 1950/2950 machines, as well as PostgreSQL general configuration.
