Hello,

Sorry, SCSI is out of my league. ;-) This group involves IDE issues,
primarily; I believe you'd be better served, consulting the SCSI
specialists, here:

news:comp.periphs.scsi

Good luck!


Cordially,
John Turco <jtur@concentric.net>

I recently tried to build a RAID with an Adaptec 2810AS. Really
a bad design! The so-called CLI would crash the card with
kernel 2.6.7 on many commands. On 2.4.27 calling normal scsi
commands (scsiinfo) would crash the whole machine.

The CLI is not a CLI, but an ncurses based graphical shell,
comletely unusable to automatize anything as it does nit
recognize any commandline arguments.

The controller also does not support SMART, despite what the
manual says.

And finally it crashed running a RAID5 when I tried to copy
60GB to it. After 48GB it just quit.

The only thing I can do with this expensive pice of hardware
is to throw it away. Tech support was unhelpful and, e.g.,
told me that I don't need SMART (my experience says otherwise).

Maybe your problem is that Adaptec only supports Red Hat up
to version 8?

Hello, John:

Then, don't try to troll.

Since IDE has dominated the desktop-PC marketplace, no?

Do you have any more of your usual, "constructive" comments to offer,
perhaps?

Pot, kettle, black, <plonk>

Simple fact is you know about a tenth what you think you know and you don't
think you know much.

Hello, John:

I never claimed to "know much" about SCSI, which is why I referred the
original poster to a SCSI newsgroup.

Your belligerent attitude genuinely puzzles me. Did you take my
response, in the "DVD-ROM changer for PCs? (scsi?)" thread, the wrong
way? That's the only thing I can think of, to possibly account for your
aggressive actions toward me, lately.

In any event, I didn't mean to be a wise guy.


Cordially,
John Turco <jtur@concentric.net>
