I just found out the problem. I wanted to write back and let everyone
on this list to know what I have discovered. 3Ware no longer supports
the escalade 6000 series. There for the card will not work in a
RAID 5 mode on linux using RedHat 9. According to the tech support, they
haven't worked on the drivers for the 6800 for 2 years. What that tells
me is that i would have to buy new escalades every so many years when
the on i have purchased for $650.00 can still do the job. I don't think
i will be buying anymore 3ware on my budget.
what i did to test. You can still install redhat 9 if you use RAID 0, 1,
10. So i went a head and installed redhat 9 using 2 40Gb drives in RAID
1. then i went ahead and setup 3 200 GB drives using RAID 5. Linux
crashes when you try to fdisk the RAID 5. thats it.
