Masterful work, Doug! Not since I read Sun's NFS Configuration and Capacity Planning white paper six or seven years ago have seen such a cogent discussion of server disk configuration (RAID or not, really). One question: On Thu, 25 Feb 1999, Doug Ledford wrote: (....deleted...) > 3.

LILO Would a reasonable solution be to use a single IDE disk as a boot/swap disk and reserve the SCSI channel(s) for striping or RAID as you describe? I've experience a little bit of weirdness running IDE and SCSI in the same system, but it might have been hardware mediated weirdness. rgb Robert G.
