Linux RAID?
I recently bought this: http://www.compgeeks.com/details.asp...SD-SIL680-RAID raid controller on Ebay and I've been having a little trouble setting it up.
Does anyone have any experience with these? Do I have to set up some sort of software raid? Is there an online manual available for it somewhere?
I'm trying to setup two 13 gig drives in a raid 0 (striped) format with Slackware 9. |

* UDMA/133 Drive (Matching drives needed for RAID)

It's a win-RAID card. Set up software or get a card that is supported by some linux distro (there aren't many for IDE RAID)

Okay, I'm way too lazy to bother about fucking with this thing to make it work with Linux, so I'm just going to drop it into a windows box that I'm about to give to a friend of mine, so a more general question:
What's a good RAID controller that is known to work with linux? Any recommendations as far as price/where to buy/usability are welcome. Thanks. :-)

For me I got a RocketRAID 133 from HighPoint. ( http://www.highpoint-tech.com)
They provide an opensource driver for linux so building the module is more easy.
I own it for now 2 weeks in a Redhat 7.3 system and got no problem.
The price: 140CA so something like 100/110US
Hope this will help you. |

RH 8 and 9 (maybe earlier versions) you can set the raid up at install.
RAIDTOOLS http://people.redhat.com/mingo/raidtools/ I'm sure there are others |
