I have a crazy idea that I want to do....
I have both a IBM M1015 and M5015.
The M1015 is in IT Mode (JBOD) and is running in my 24Bay SuperMicro 4U Chassis (SAS Backplane)
Connected with a single SFF-8087 Cable
HDDs Installed
12 1TB SAS 7.2k
4 600GB SAS 10k
4 450GB SAS 15k
2 500GB SATA
1 600GB SATA
1 3TB SATA
Now, I only have about 6TB of storage in use. But if I can avoid transferring data around, I would like to.
I would like to put my M5015 back into good use and MAYBE do a silly hybrid RAID unRaid system.
Now, my M5015 cannot do JBOD mode at all.
I'm thinking of setting up 3TB Max RAID0 or 5 v-disks. Make the system a little bit quicker with some heavy hitting issues.
Would also like to get MEGA-Raid working though it as well, but I've read that is quite hard to setup in Slackware. I do so that I have use the MEGA-Raid interface for predictive failure analysis. Which I currentrly cannot get working.
Am I crazy?
