Silly enough, the reason why I ask is because I'm not 100% on my RAID + RAID controller. I want to ensure that it's stable and not dropping out/etc. And usually, a real 'stress' will show you. While the redundancy of the yum setup is fine... I'd rather not have the attitude of "If it fails it's not a big deal", I want to feel that if I set it up, I don't need to worry about whether it's still up and working at its peak every 5 minutes. Server info: FreeBSD 7.1 i386 Dell 2950 /w 4-bay slot raid Xeon 3.0Ghz (Dual Core + HT) 2GB DDR2 Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5708 1000Base-T attached to Cisco SRW2024 /w fiber uplink 1x 146GB SAS Drive (OS) (I wanted to do a RAID1 on this but since I grabbed a chassis with only 4 ports instead of 6, I was limited) 3x 1TB SATA2 Drives (RAID5 /w repos on it) I just thought I'd set this up 'for the lulz' and so far it's worked okay. However, I haven't been sure if there have been problems on the server-side, network-side, or just inside my head. There aren't any errors listed in any logs... But logs aren't always everything. -- Kate Gerry OC3 Networks & Web Solutions 530 W 6th Street #901 Los Angeles, CA 90014 kate at oc3networks.com
