Hi All, first time post so please excuse any blunders
We are specifying two servers using supermicro X7DBE+ MB and want to add on a SAS controller for Raid 10. We want to use the CentOS 4.4 X86_64 distro.
We are currently considering an Intel CC SRCSAS144E SAS Raid Controller for the servers using 4 Fujitsu 147 GB SAS HDD, and a Adaptec SASC RAID 4805 8-port for the server using 6 Fujitsu 147 GB SAS HDD.
Any feedback on this distro, the supermicro X7DBE+, or SAS controllers would be appreciated.
I have supermicro X7xxx boards and they work fine with Centos-4 x86_64 (you do need .4 since it includes a new enough e1000 driver).
Regarding the SAS controllers the only thing I run on Centos-4 is a few Dell rebranded LSI things. They seem to work ok (no extra drivers, uses megaraid_sas) but I can't say I've been pushing them hard.
