Yeah right I was mixing vinum with some other tool I was using on
another OS. But one of the points I seriously disliked was the fact
that I
couldn't mount a single drive out of a RAID1 array on another machine
for emergency recovery. With the el cheapo IDE RAID controllers
(which
are otherwise not of much use...), I could do so.

Currently, I'm trying to make up my mind and add either go for
Adaptec
SCSI RAID (which adds about 1000$ per webserver) or for the 3Ware
Escalade series which are said to be among the best solutions for IDE
RAID outthere. And given that the 6410 series is available at 120$ in
the US, I'll probably go that route (if I can convinve hypermicro.com
to
ship overseas ;-)




Best regards,
 Gabriel
