uberprinnyakatux Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Ok, just got a raid card for a file / vmserver. I also got another hdd. Currently I have 3 x 500gb disks built into raid 5. I would like to add another disk into the array. What would I have to do. I may be over thinking it or not using the right search terms, and I am also looking through the manual again to see. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 http://www.highpoint-tech.com/manuals/RR2320_User_Manual.pdf Read page 35. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uberprinnyakatux Posted September 14, 2009 Author Share Posted September 14, 2009 Thank you, must of not read that discription right. I get to do some CLI with this. BTW in the real manual it is page 4-13, just in case someone happens along this thread. Thanks again, Shane O. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 No problem. BTW, what do you think of the card? I'm quite tempted by one myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uberprinnyakatux Posted September 15, 2009 Author Share Posted September 15, 2009 The card is quite nice, im still tyring to get the management console to work under linux and the cli is useless beyond making the card stop beeping when you remove a drive. My friend has raid 5 set up, and its on an nvidia chipset and i was pulling 100mb/s+ from his array to my raid 5. However it does run extremely hot, i mean skin boiling hot.

uberprinnyakatux Posted November 13, 2009 Author Share Posted November 13, 2009 I do not want to bring up my old post but just would like to add a good bit of information that I did not know. I have had quite a few problems getting this to install in various versions of linux from sles to ubuntu to debian to fedora. I found with the debian based install (buntu) if you gunzip the ko file and copy that to your /lib/modules/currentkerneldir/kernel/drivers/scsi/ then run the install script it will install. For some reason the install script is not working. I have not dug deeper but may help someone else out in installing something. Its something that just worked.
