IDE Raid Controllers for Fedora?
I am trying to set up RAID on a server running Fedora Core 2 (a seemingly simple task that has taken up more time than expected)
My options are
1) Use Software Raid
2) Use a Hardware IDE Raid Controller
I have been unable to get software raid to work. I mean, It appears to work, but If turn off the machine, and disconnect a drive, upon turning the machine back on, it gives me a blank blinking cursor. Perhaps I did this wrong (since I was unable to find any good info on it). If anyone has a good reference link for setting up software raid on fedora using disk druid, I would be forever grateful.
Assuming I go with a hardware raid, can anyone recommend a reliable (and inexpensive) IDE controller? I will be putting it into a DELL system, although if necessary, I can build a machine if necessary to get the controller to work without any aggrivation.
Thanks.
