Hi! [Replacing Mylex RAID adapter with Symbios SCSI adapter] > I have a question on this. Is it even possible? I don't know the > details, but I seem to remember that each controller writes to the disk > in its own way so that another controller type (different brand of SCSI > controller) won't be able to read the disk or use it. My thoughts exactly. Maybe if the disks on old controller were configured as JBOD (no RAID) it would work, but if they were configured as RAID array then I think that only the Mylex adapter is able to adequately read the partition(s) on the array. I'm not such a big RAID expert either, so of course my thoghts are worth exactly what you paid for them :-) -- Toomas Aas | toomas.aas@raad.tartu.ee | http://www.raad.tartu.ee/~toomas/ * I am Pentium of Borg!
