ok, i have a slack 10 software raid used for a samba share but i whant to add more hds to the raid or a second raid if that is not possible.

i am looking for any suggestions on a card brand/model that has support by/for slack10.
i do not know much about the raid/controller card market so any suggestions would be great or any alternet paths.

so in short, suggestions for adding more harddrives to a computer while keeping the data that is stored on exesting drives and also making is so that the drives show up in as few mount points as possible eg: jbod, raid 0.

Are you going with hardware-based raid or software-based raid?
Are you going with SCSI hard drives, or IDE hard drives?

sorry,
i am currently running 4 ide drives and would like to keep useing ide, or possibly sata as the controller cards seem quite a bit cheaper and the drives are almost the same price,

Currently have a software raid and have had no problems with it at all so if its cheaper to go with out hardware raid thats great.

I use the promise/maxtor IDE cards. Currently raid5 w/ 6 disks.
you can use raidhotadd to add more drives

do you know if the promise cards need "drives" or do they work at a "bios level"?

The promise cards I use are for linux software raid. The fasttrax series are hardware raid I think
