Just a bit of info regarding SUSE 10.0:

I use the 3WARE 8506- 4 4HD RAID as HW raid 5 with the purchased Suse
10.0 Boxed version with x86_64 processor on two identical servers
mirroring the partitions as block devices over 1 GB IP with DRBD running
without any problems. I didn't need any special setup for the
raid/controllers at installation of the OS, the complete partition is
mounted as /dev/sdb2 (as /dev/drbd0 with DRBD).
