We were using them with Cinelerra + Linux and the editors began to rebel and wanted some Adobe tools that only ran on Windows and OSX. So I caved. 8-) I find these boxes a lot more responsive than our dual 2.5ghz G5's. I don't have any "unix tasks" that need that kind of horsepower at the moment, though I'm probably going to deploy a rack of dual dual-core opteron boxes (using a different motherboard) running Centos when our web content launches in China.
I've got some spares around so I'll see if I can get 4.3 on one tomorrow and replicate your problem.
Are you using the RAID utility in the bios for the nvdia controller or are you just treating them as plain ol' disks? What disks are you using?
No raid, just plain 'old disks. The disks are Seagate Barracuda 7200s, 250G.
Thanks much, Gavin
