Legacy drive info (from kernel source 2.6.10): * Version : v2.00.3 (Feb 19, 2003) - Atul Mukker * * Description: Linux device driver for LSI Logic MegaRAID controller * * Supported controllers: MegaRAID 418, 428, 438, 466, 762, 467, 471, 490, 493 * 518, 520, 531, 532 * 3b.

As for loads the system does not get that busy, most of the crashes seem to occure around 3am when I backup some WinXP shares to tar files and after that the DLT backup job runs, where my script creates a list of files to backup before running tar with the bzip compression. At the moment kernel 2.6.9 (FC3 build) seems to be ok.
