Anyone who know if there exist drivers for Highpoints RocketRAID 454 for CentOS? I didn't find any on their site for RedHat Enterprise, which I tought would work with centos, so.. anyone? http://www.highpoint-tech.com/USA/bios_rr454.htm /H?vard

Hello, I know that this card has support in FreeBSD but I'm curious if anyone has used them under heavy load in a RAID-5 configuration. We're thinking of equipping two of these cards with 8 120GB Hitachi drives and run it in an RAID-5 array for video material. The usual data streams will likely be 2-3 streams at about 5-20MB/s (totally) and I know that a single drive will handle that,

Has anyone on the list used one of these w/Linux? We currently use Linux + Cinelerra for editing uncompressed video (and a few dual G5 macs running Final Cut Pro). Current editing stations are getting a bit long in the tooth so I've been mulling over a mass upgrade. 8-) These cards are interesting to me because they are PCI-X and support 4 SATAII drives per multilane/infiniband

If anyone's got old RocketRAID cards, I just had to deal with one. They are years behind in updating their drivers - googling, I find the last time some were supported was CentOS 5.2. At any rate, I have just managed to build 1.8 of rr232x successfully, and am building filesystems on the drive as I type. I d/l the compressed t...

I picked up a RocketRaid 1640 card b/c it had support for "RedHat". Apparently, their version of "RedHat" is "stable"(9), which I pointed out was "dead" for all security purposes... (at least, that was what I understood from someone in one of the RH/clone IRC channels.) It turns...

hello, i''ve much troubles with xen4 and my raidcontroller rocketraid2320 from highpoint. after i installed the latest kernel 2.6.33.3-pv_ops un ubuntu-lucid 64bit from jeremy''s git, i installed the driver from highpoint''s homepage v1.10. the driver was installed normal. ok, reboot and the driver works. modinfo rr232x: ----------------------------...

...o make it work? The card should preferably be able to connect ten harddrives, but I guess three four-port cards should work as well. There's no need for anything fancy really, as long as I can create a single big software-raid on it at CentOS install-time. So far I've tried a Highpoint RocketRAID 2740 and a LSI 9201-16i without too much success.

Ok, I've got a RocketRAID 2300 and when i do the update of the kernel it breaks the raid card since the OS is on the raid card itself, i need to install the driver into the new kernel.. Whats the best way to do this? I am reading the manual from the manufacter, but i dont see anything as to a new kernel upgrade. Thanks...

...he data-backup to build a backup server. It's built around an Asus Z87-A that seems to have problems with anything Linux unfortunately. Anyway, BackupPC is my preferred backup-solution, so I went ahead to install another favourite, CentOS 6.4 - and failed. The raid controller is a Highpoint RocketRAID 2740 and its driver is suggested to be prior to starting Anaconda by way of "ctrl-alt-f2", at which point Anaconda freezes. I've come so far as installing Fedora 19 and having it see all the hard-drives, but it refuses to create any partition bigger than approx. 16 TB with ext4....

We're doing a "mini-RC3" to encourage testing of the Highpoint driver (hptrr) backout. Testing of 7.0-RC2 showed there were problems with the driver update done between RC1 and RC2. Because it's a "mini-RC" targetted at testing of one particular thing we have not bothered with setting up FreeBSD Update. You can use the normal cvsup-and-build method of doing an update

...raid capabilities, I just need > a couple of SATA connections. Nothing specific, but I would strongly recommend a well-known brand, like LSI. Note that I'm saying this because we had a box that was a JBOD, with mini-SAS cables coming out of the back, and they were hooked into an Highpoint RocketRaid. It was older - more than six years, and two years ago, they already just didn't care - I had to find the source code, do a hack to it so that it would compile, then recompile on the (rare) occasions that we upgraded the kernel....

...Any suggestions would be helpful. It''s mainly going to be used for high def x264 movie playback over samba or nfs to 4 or 5 htpc''s. My current machine is FreeBSD 8.0 with ZFS and has 3 raidz vdevs each with 4 drives, but they are all on the same controller (which is a highpoint rocketraid 2340) I used FreeBSD because solaris didnt'' work with this card, but with me upgrading, this soon won''t be an issue. If i were to buy a 3rd raid card to use one of the pci-e slots, would it be best to avoid using the onboard ports all together or would it then make more sense to...
