Re: large devices (3ware)

I am considering a 3ware 7500-12 (12 channel IDE raid controller) and 12 
120 gig drives in a single large RAID5. Am I correct that Linux (latest 
Redhat 7.3 shipped 2.4.18 kernel) can handle devices up to 2 terabyte and 
that this raid5 (1320 gig) would work as expected as one single file 
system (ext3) ? Anyone actually have something similar up and running and 
can verify that it works?

Hi Mikael,

Yes, it will work just fine. We have several of the 3ware 7500-12's here with
exactly the setup you're looking at, save for we use Debian. 3ware makes a
driver for Redhat and the kernel if recompiled with the option has one built
in. It's a solid setup.

Best,
