As explained some months ago, we use real Linux 2.0.36 and RedHat 5.2 as server in the medical field for images storage.
We are using DPT and/or ICP Vortex RAID 5 controllers addressing 36 GB physical
disks. The larger RAID currently installed is a 8 * 36 GB disks which, all together, offers ~ 210 GB logical storage. Now, all over these 210 GB we declared some logical drives of 30 GB each. Our product is able to manage volumes as being used as a single large volume.
Nothing to say about. We had to install a few updates like fdisk and fsync but, after that, the systems are working nicely.
Feel free to contact me for any further assitance.
