If you have a RAID Card no...but I thought you just have a SCSI interface right? Jon On Mon, 30 Apr 2001, Jonathan Terbio wrote:

Hi JON,

Do i need to use the Software RAID and RAId Utils even if i have the HARDWARE?

Huh?

You are trying to do Mirroring accross these disks with SoftRAID? If that is the case then yes you should load the RAID utils. Howeveer, go get the SuSE 7.1 and read the manual.......it will help you and the newer packages available in 7.1....I have not played much with RAID in software as I generally do not think it is a good idea for production servers. But if this is a home system you might see some benefit in redundancy....for speed try RAID 0+1 (mirror and stripe) If you are on a budget you can do this I have heard with IDE disks, maybe multiple controllers as IDE has the limits with master/slave

Hi Susers,

Hello guys!!! I need some suggestion on what to do on activating the RAID 1 Level. As a I read from the documentation was to compile the kernel. We have a Suse 7.0 evaluation copy (2.2.16-SMP kernel) with a Ultra Wide SCSI RAID CARD AAA-131SA and 2 HDD 4 GB's. If I enable the RAID 1 on the kernel do i need to run the cron or any backup solution? Does those backup solution can copy the Boot or do I need to have a boot disk? What are the things that i need to consider before compiling the kernel? Do i need the raidtools package?

Any help very much appreciated...

Thanks.

Hi. I use Suse 7.0 with kernel upgraded to 2.4.2. I have an USB mouse and USB radio plugged, having a VIA chipset&USB controller on mobo. I am trying newer kernels (so far 2.4.3 and 2.4.4) without success: USB mouse doesn't work, 'lsusb' gives incorrect results, many warnings on /var/log/messages, etc. The error appears early on the boot process. Here are some lines from /var/log/messages at the beginning of the boot process with 2.4.2 (no problem): Apr 30 12:09:59 capricho syslogd 1.3-3: restart. Apr 30 12:10:02 capricho kernel: klogd 1.3-3, log source = /proc/kmsg started. Apr 30 12:10:02 capricho kernel: Loaded 15305 symbols from /boot/System.map-2.4.2.

Above, 0x5c7 corresponds to Qtronix (manufacturer of the USB mouse), and 0x4b4 is Cypress (manufacturer of the USB radio). So it seems that hub.c in 2.4.4 has problems with a simple USB mouse. Any idea?
