What linux distributions are you using?
I'm currently running Fedora 6 (FC6) and it works fine but I'll be
moving to something a bit newer within the next week or two and thought I'd ask what else is out there that can support the Proliants out of the box like Fedora can -- specifically handling the RAID filesystems properly. I suspect the RHEL would but I can't afford to fork out that sort of big $$ for it. Are there other Linux distributions that work out of the box? In my case I'm using a Proliant 6400r - quad Xeon 500Mhz Phil -- I gather you're still around occasionally? I can almost hear the crickets around here.. I am waiting to take delivery of my 2nd storageworks enclosure I just nabbed off ebay for $25.. Hopefully this one will make it over here without being destroyed by UPS like the last one was (and turned into parts afterwards) -- Rick |

Are there other Linux distributions that work out of the box? Ok.. Just to pop in here again.. In doing further research, I think I've decided to try out FreeBSD 7.x out.. Many people believe it has much better security and fewer exploits than the Linux derivatives do.. It also appears to offer some interesting speed bumps over the typical 2.6 Linux kernel for TCP/IP use.. (among others). From reviewing their docs for it, it should work with the SA5300 and newer array adapters as well using the cciss kernel driver. |
