just plugged them in and they worked. running sarge 2.4.27. I'm using my internal ports with 1 drive on one, and a drive + dvdrom on the other. the others all have one drive on each. i've got a 6 drive raid10 system all with 250g drives. I've read that you shouldn't use slave drives with software raid. everything is a master (except the dvd which is a slave, but hardly used) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
