Hi,
I was trying to built a huge RAID-5 disk on the 3 channel PCI
RAID controller (with 6 Seagate 9G drives). I wanted to turn all
6 drives into one huge RAID-5 disk, but the standalone config
utility refused to do it. The automatic option failled (no details,
just that it failled). Manual config works, you can group all 6 drives
into one geroup, but when you try to actually define the disks,
the program does not accept any size above 32768 M (suspicous).
So: is it a feature, or what? I know I can work around this (like
creating two RAID-5 disks an combining them with AdvFS or LSM),
but it's not quite what I want.
Had anybody tried to go above 32G with officially supported drives
(like 9xRZ29 or 17xRZ28)? Did it work?
Thanks,
Gyula
