Thank you to those who replied. I've decided to adopt Henrique's suggestion and go with Software Raid. There seems to be little point in persevering with the onboard chip if it does not offer better performance. I've copied everything over to hda1, modified lilo.conf and fstab and verified everything works off hda. I've also printed out the software raid howto. Hopefully tonight I will get the chance to setup the array and copy everything back.
And thanks, Roberto, for posting the relevant parts of your kernel config. I tried compiling with the necessary modifications but unfortunately it did not help. I'd love to know what the problem was but I was simply spending too much time on it. And after reading Henrique's posts it seems fairly clear that standard Linux software raid is preferable. By the way, I am planning to try an initial chunksize of 32. Any comments as to whether this is appropriate. regards, Darryl -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
