As for hardware RAID controllers, DPT is an option, but you might want to wait a bit and use either the Mylex or AMIMegaRAID controllers. I have been using both in testing machines, and so far they perform quite well. But the drivers are still experimental. However, they should be release quality by the time 3.4 gets released from what I am told. ---Mike Mike Tancsa (mdtancsa@sentex.net) Sentex Communications Corp, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada "Given enough time, 100 monkeys on 100 routers could setup a national IP network."
