Comment Promise under linux? Why? (Score 1) 171
First off, this is by no means ment to be a flame of any type.
That said, why would someone who wanted use a promise controller (RAID) under any O.S.? If you want mirroring, there is the 3ware 2 chan cards, and if you want more, there are the 4+ chan cards. And, the last time I looked, you had to run the mknod command about a dozen times to get things to maybe work. *searches for major/minor #'s*
And as far as SMP? Anyone running SMP should know how to RTFM, at a very min.
One other thing, if your sysadmin is considering deploying *nix for the users, there is a better then fair chance she/he knows how to K.I.S.S it for the users...
OK, rant compleated, we now return you to your regurlar scheduled insomnia...
