Now I'm no expert on the megaraid controller but I'm fairly certain that frequent timeouts are not something that I want to be seeing. I looked around and saw other people asking the same but no answers posted publicly. I was also wondering as to whether linux emulation could be used to run the LSI Megaraid storage manager or whether attempting to do so is a very bad idea.. Thanks, Colin Southport Computers.
