Trying to resolve a problem installing Fedora Core2 or Suse 9.1 eventually led me to the kernel mailing list which has indicated that a) there is a problem and b) the fix degrades performance. Can you tell me if the problems with the 3114 are restricted to Seagate drives, and everything will be rosy if I get (for example) 4 x Western Digital 120G drives instead? I'm a little confused about the nature of the issue/bug but I'll be happy just to get a working server at this stage. Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask but references to this problem are rare. Thanks, Bradley.
