My question is: which kind of configuration will generally give me better performance? To use the IHC7 RAID-1 as currently set up, or to use Linux software RAID-1 as I am used to doing? Any other reasons to choose one over the other?
Thanks for the responses, confirming what I thought: disable SATA RAID and use Linux software RAID for mirroring. So that's what I've done.
It appears that my Centos 4.4 install didn't know about dmraid devices anyway.
I personally would give fakeraid a because the hardware chipset wouldn't take as much CPU time as soft-raid. Why are you using 4.4 instead of 4.5 as you mentioned in your previous post?
