Hello,
There's been a lot of talk lately about raid controllers :-)
I'm thinking about buying a Dell Poweredge with the Dell CERC SATA RAID Controller, 64MB Cache. It'll be either a P4 or a 64bit Xeon.
Does CentOS4 recognize these controllers fine? Any extra driver needs to be installed?
Thanks, Francois
I have Centos 3.4 and 4.0 on several Dell Poweredge 1750 and 750's. The 750's have raid 1 stat disks. To date performance has been absolutely flawless, I highly recommend them running Centos, it runs perfectly straight out of the box.

Thank you. What driver does it use?

It will use either megaraid.o or megaraid2.o under CentOS 3.X/RHEL 3 and megaraid_mbox.o driver under CentOS 4/RHEL 4.
The LSI Logic MegaRAID SATA 150-6 is the OEM version of the Dell CERC SATA RAID card (either that or the MegaRAID SATA 150-4 - depends on how many SATA ports the controller has).
