Maybe investing in a RAID controller or a scsi-to-scsi RAID unit? does linux support these controllers? it seemed rather cutting edge (but then linux is usually bleeding edge) -P ___________________________________________________________________________ Pat Lynch lynch@rush.net Systems Administrator Rush Networking ___________________________________________________________________________ On Wed, 9 Dec 1998, jahanur wrote: > Hi Greg, > Should we be able to install Freebsd 2.2.7 R on it yet ? > Please answer as soon as possible? > If Raid does not work then can we still use it as separate drives. > And on the Scsi also please let me know as soon as possible. > We still have time to return this server. > If this Server does not work please refer us to some other server > where freebsd will work.
