If you buy a raid controller then it pretty much does not matter which mobo you get. But be sure you go to the supported hardware section of the SuSE Manual/Website and make sure the raid controller is supported.
It doesn't appear to have much info on SuSE 9.1. :(
OR you could do software raid. This lets you use any mix of disks (scsi, ata, sata) and combine them into an array. Yast handles this quite nicely.
Would this work well with a PCI controller? I'd expect that the kernel would send each package separately over the PCI bus, or ... ?
I would recommend keeping all the system stuff on a regular flat disk, not in the raid array.
That's a good tip indeed. I'll have a look to see if I have a small HD lying around anywhere for the OS. No need to waste a 160+ GB driver on that. :) Regards, Pieter Hulshoff
