I've generally had quite positive experiences with the card under FC3 and
FC4 x86_64 using Linux software RAID 5 and the OpenBuild driver. The driver
has generally been quite good, however it doesn't appear to support SMART
I/O controls. I like to monitor SMART parameters so I can swap out disks
before they catastrophically fail.
I have started using the now GNU licensed Marvell driver [1] with my 1820a.
I haven't had a chance to benchmark it, however it works and it does support
SMART I/O controls. It seems to require a full kernel source tree to build.
I'm using it with FC4 x86_64.
In the future I am looking forward to using the Brett Russ libata Marvell
driver that is going in the kernel. I haven't tried the PIO only driver.
Greg :-)
