I found that in 2.4.x kernel, there are not much sata support. In 2.6 there are some. and basing on that sata linxu status report, i think promise and serverworks should be good choices i guess. i find a promise 4 port card. but i do not know which card use server works chips. just feel curious why u use evms not lvm? :) ming On Sun, 2004-01-18 at 16:29, Hendrik Visage wrote: > On Sun, Jan 18, 2004 at 03:54:44PM -0500, Ming Zhang wrote: > > Hi, I want to setup a software raid and lvm configuration with 2-4TB raw > > disk space.
