What kind of implementation software or hardware is recommended for ide Raid 1 with ext3? Some controllers from Promise like their new FastTrak TX2000 look nice. But won't I be tied into the kernel version that is only supported under their drivers? Is ide software Raid stable and fast with ext3 for a production system? Thanks in advance. Aaron Lopez

Is ide software Raid > stable and fast with ext3 for a production system?I've used both Software RAID1 and the 3ware line of RAID cards with good results. You can pick up the 6410 (4 port version) for about $100 these days. -Dave
