Sorry for the totally off topic rage against hardware raid cards...
I guess my point was even though I happen to want smartctl -d 3ware to work, I would almost be behind a decision to just say "We can't reasonably support that. Plain drives or mdraid.
Yes, I agree, I would have no problem with that at all. From a usability pov though, the SMART check should be at least disabled if YaST is running in an unsupported configuration. I've never used that health-check before, but as it's there, I thought it ought to be tested :-)
Demand your hardware raid card manufacturer supply anything we're enjoying in software that the raid card prevents or makes difficult." I need only a little provocation to justify wiping that entire server just to deconfigure the raid array and set all 24 drives up as plain volumes and pretend the raid card is just an hba.
I have four storage servers with two 3ware cards each - I'll let you know how it works out. My HP SmartARRAY controllers have never given me any grief and I've got more than a few of those. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (13.1°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
