RE: [SLUG] RAID

Unfortunately RAID is only supported in software and not using the Adaptec's
Hardware RAID. Your probably better off just getting a 2940UW or something
and do it that way rather than spending $900 on a AAA-131U or something.

But this has been quite some time since I've been working in Anabelle Bits
(original Adaptec Distributor) so there may have been some enhancements on
this.

I remember too that Adaptec was going to support the Linux Industry by
supplying their code or something but I might be wrong on that.

Does anyone have experience of using RAID controllers with RH6.1.
I'm planning on a machine setup with an Adaptec pci RAID controller 
performing RAID 0 to provide disk redundancy - any pitfalls to plan for? It 
looks to me like it should be quite straightfoward - that the RAID will 
happen without the OS needing to be aware of it at all.

Thanks in advance for your comments.
