If you know of somebody I don't know of, please let me > know. For a while now I have a old spare Intel Madrona server. It has in current configuration one SCSI backplane with 5 SCA plugs and four Seagate Cheetah disks (old model: 4.3GB 10000rpm). The SCSI controller is onboard Symbios 875. I did some vinum raid-5 tests in November, all what I got was massive filesystem corruption and panics after the degraded volume got rebuilt. I'll probably have this box for yet two weeks or so and my time isn't so limited now, so.. What I can do to help you besides installing latest -stable? Do you have some formalized test procedures or anything to prove the stability of raid-5 configuration?
