3ware Raid controllers and 64bit Etch
The machines are using a 3ware 64 bit PCI Raid controller - with 2 (or
4 can't remember exactly).
They are in a 32bit PCI slot and the disks are SATA and mirrored (2
disks)
Unfortunately I don't know exactly which controller as I do not have
physical access to the machines.
(The machines are supplied by a hosting provider) - Is there anyway to
find out exactly which cards they
are from the OS?
Cheers
Andrew

Dear List,
I have been having data corruption problems for the last two
months on 7 servers.
After extensive testing, I have finally narrowed the problem down
to Debian Etch 2.6.18-5 kernel
with the 3ware PCI controller. The same machine using the onboard
SATA controller does not
corrupt data.
Just to make this clear - this is with 64bit version of Etch - I
have not tested the 32bit version
with the Raid controller.
I've been using an 9650SE-8LPML in RAID 6 (with battery) under 64bit
Etch without any problems. It's as heavily loaded as bonded dual 100
can let it be. Although you didn't say what controller and RAID
level you're using.
