You have to recompile the driver from source every time you do a kernel update. Otherwise works great for me. Dont forget to do optimizations to get max performance, there's some simple ones on 3ware's site that make a nice difference.

Subject: [Centos] 3Ware Escalade 9500S controller question
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Greetings folks,
I'm currently redoing my home server as one of the hard drives in my
RAID-1 array went down and I'm going to replace the lot of it with a
3Ware Escalade 9500S RAID capable card and four Seagate 200GB SATA
drives. These drives are supposedly the coolest and quietest SATA
drives available (better than the Maxtors I had anyway) and the capacity
upgrade on the server is worth the $$$ at this point. I'm planning on
running them in RAID-5 for maximum disk space and performance.
Are there any 3Ware Escalade/SATA issues I should be aware of when
building this new server utilizing CentOS-3? The card was supposedly
supported under RH9, so I figured RHEL3 (or clones) would be fine.
Thanks in advance for the feedback,
- --Shawn
