Looking for RAID Tools
 

Dear Friends ,

I have the following two questions :

1) Is there any Third party tools or Cd for Doing RAID or Mirroring which is used for
any Non Brand PC (Not for IBM or others) ? If any then plz inform me ...

2) What is the diffence between

/etc/rc.d
/etc/rc3.d
/etc/rc5.d
/etc/init.d

Waiting for ur reply ... ...

There are third party hardware RAID controllers you can buy. Others on this board have warned agains SATA RAID controllers because often they aren't true RAID.

There is also "sofware" RAID built into Linux. Do "man mdadm" for details on that. This doesn't require a card.

/etc/init.d is where the base init scripts are typically.

/etc/rc0.d, /etc/rc1.d, /etc/rc2.d, /etc/rc3.d, /etc/rc4.d, /etc/rc5.d & /etc/rc6.d are the run level directories. The files there are links back to the files in /etc/init.d.

S##name are start links and K##name are kill (stop) links.
