I am about to build a general server with NAS options on Dell 2900 platform. I am thinking to use 3Ware 9550SXU for Raid.
Anybody used CentOS on this hardware?? Just wondering. Thanks Srikar |

9550SXU works well with CentOS 5.0 and 5.1. We're running 24TB (2 controllers, 12 drives each) systems on Supermicro boards.
Only one issue is open at the moment: In cases of marginal disk drives (taking too much time for error recovery and causing timeouts) the controller sometimes doesn't rebuild on the hot spare automatically. AMCC has a new FW version that fixes this. Turn autoverify on. We had data loss on one system when the controller rebuilt after a drive failure and ran into hard read errors on another drive. Nothing it can do obviously. |
