I saw advertising about a controller that run raid on ide. I don't know if linux can do this without specific hardware ... but, you know, the Penguin is able to do a lot of thing....

http://www.linuxdoc.org; Read the Software-RAID HOWTO ;). Specifically, you're after RAID-0 or RAID-1 instructions. Or, if you have a few hundred dollars to spare (which you don't seem to), you could pick up one of 3ware's (http://www.3ware.com) Escalade-series ATA-RAID cards and do it in hardware. These look very promising (I took one installed on an Athlon to LinuxWorld last week), and allow you to see *real* (hardware) RAID in action. -- -=|JP|=- Jon Pennington | Atipa Linux Solutions -o) jpennington@atipa.com | Kansas City, MO /\\ 816-241-2641 x107 | http://www.atipa.com _\_V -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
Hi, welcome back, Jon :) I hope you enjoyed LinuxWorld as much as I did. On Tue, 8 Feb 2000, Jon Pennington wrote:

And thanks to Andre Hedrick, our IDE kernel developer, there also is a linux driver for it :) Bye, LenZ -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Lenz Grimmer SuSE GmbH mailto:grimmer@suse.de Schanzaeckerstr. 10 http://www.suse.de/~grimmer 90443 Nuernberg, Germany -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

I forgot to mention that the driver has been committed to the 2.2.15pre6 kernel tree.

software RAID on IDE is a snap. Note that having your root fs on software RAID is not. for just learning and playing, its just as easy to use two or more ramdisks or loopback mounted filesystem images. i believe i posted brief instructions to the list a coupla months ago, Dec maybe?.. might lookit the archives. also, seems like i had some issues with 6.3 when i installed both raidtools and mdutils. good luck, and have fun..:) -- ======================================================================== Rocky McGaugh Atipa Linux Solutions Linux Systems Engineer www.atipa.com rocky@smluc.org rmcgaugh@atipa.com ======================================================================== On Tue, 8 Feb 2000, Jonathan wrote:

Since you're mentioning both RAID and IDE in one subject line: http://www.3ware.com/linux/news-lx.shtml They were at LinuxWorld. Quite impressive, we'll buy a half dozen of those controllers. The kernel IDE guru, who happens to work for SuSE ;-) , wrote the driver for it. It's already in the newer kernels. -- Currently at Oracle, Redwood City, California Oracle-EMail: mhasenst@us.oracle.com Michael Hasenstein http://www.suse.de/~mha/ Private Pilot (ASEL+aerobatics) since 1998 -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

There is no real mechanism to stop you from doing so.. But since they are IDE drives you would not encounter many performance boosts.. I have even run a small experiment where i set up RAID using 3 partitions on a single drive.. Did not do much, but.. :) Cya Matthew Matthew King: Network Engineer, Cable & Wireless Optus.
