Anyone with experience of running 64bit RHEL 4 on a PE2950 with aPerc5e attached MD1000 SAS Storage device

[Gary Mansell]

Hi,

I am looking to purchase and install a Fileserver running 64bit RHEL on
a Dell PE 2950 with a MD1000 SAS storage device attached via a Perc5e
RAID card.

This is going to be a pretty critical server so I would like to know if
anyone has any experience with a config like this. I specifically would
like to know if people would look at this as a stable solution for a
Linux fileserver.

Thanks in advance for any advice

Regards

Gary Mansell
