Re: [SLE] Raid array with ReiserFS and (now Promise Fasttrak 100)

What size of drives are you using, I thought that my problem may be related to the fact that they are 30Gb - although by today's standards that isn't huge.........

I have several machines running 7.1 (2.4.2 kernel, lvm 0.9.1B6, and the latest reiser tool) with multi-level md devices (RAID 0+1) and using lvm snapshots on top of that. It runs pretty reliably, and the snapshots are great for doing DB backups.

Do you have specific questions?
