Hi folks,
For running some kind of database application (ClearCase 4.1) I would
like to attach an external RAID array with 6*30GByte to a RedHat 6.2
machine, using kernel 2.2.17. I don't expect huge files (maximum file
size should be about 250MByte), but a lot of middle size files and
millions of tiny files.
Will this work?
Do you expect any problems with the partition table?
Many thanx in advance
Harri

I've used a 250GB and 400GB RAID array with 2.2.x kernels w/o any
problems. We have several thousands of ~1 MB
and >100 MB files.

Many thanx for your fast answer.
What kind of controller did you use?
