[linux-audio-user] Raid setup (kinda OT)

[Bryan Koschmann - GKT]

Hello,

While I know this is specfically an audio group, I'm thinking this is
still related, but I apologize if it is too far off topic.

I was wondering if anyone here has setup an IDE raid, either via hardware
or software. I ask because I know it usually would speed up disk access
which is good for realtime audio work (I had to work on a scsi system with
a layla for a customer of mine). I was looking at doing a striped raid
with 2 80 gigs (or maybe 2 120s).

I tried to setup a striping (then later a mirror) on my other machine
running slack 8.0 but had absolutely no luck whatsoever. Neither the
hardware on my motherboard (HPT370 on abit VP6) or just a simple software
raid worked. I will probably be using the same board for audio recording
unless someone has a better suggestion (looking at asus).

So, if anyone can give me any recommendations or hints/tips I would be
quite happy. :)

Thanks in advance,

	Bryan
