Mine is: OVER9000

Hey have a look at http://www.moosefs.org/ I have played around with it a bit and it looks like it fulfills most of your criteria but i am unsure on proformance.

Yeh a fan blowing onto the card is a must... I have a 120 sunnon blowwing onto 2 and it keeps them nice and cool ;)

i got my cables from ebay as Deal Exteeme was always sold out. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/MINI-SAS-SFF-8087-4-SATA-36P-4-SATA-cable-3-28ft-/230440249197?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35a74f276d

I also had this probelm i fixed it by togiling the s13 setting (or something like that) in the AOC bios it makes the drives not bootable at boot time :p

have you tryed hevy load that is what i was havving trouble with it would lock up the raid card (all the activity lights would jam on and the server would freeze). i have not managed to compile the kernel in debian yet. :mad:

Yes that is what i am going to do when i get home i compiled the new kernel just forgot to move the initrd files to there new home *crosses fingers*

i did but when i compile the new kernel it panics and will not start... I am looking into it.

From what i can see 2.6.35-rc2 mainline has the mvsas patch's, I am going to give it a go tonight. will let you know how it goes.

After buying 2 of these for a file server I could not be happier with the performance in Debian with a patched kernel. fs1:/media/md5# mdadm --detail /dev/md5 /dev/md5: Version : 00.90 Creation Time : Thu Feb 4 16:04:18 2010 Raid Level : raid5 Array Size : 6837319552...
