Fuck yeah! Just got my Linux software RAID 5 array working.

Setup:

3x Seagate 7200.12 1TB - $269

Asus M2R32-MVP mobo - $free

Athlon X2 4050e - $35

Crucial 1GB DDR2 - $10

Intel PRO/1000 Dual 1Gbit NIC - $free

Antec TruBlu 480W PSU (although I heard bad things about it) - $20

2U rackmount case - $free

I was going to put Ubuntu on it, but it didn't like my PCI video card I was using to get this machine setup. Ended up just downloading CentOS and installing it. The software RAID 5 works AMAZINGLY well. I was able to rip out one of the SATA drives while the whole thing is running and viola, it continues running on two drives and then once I plug it in, the system rebuilds the array if need be. All on the fly!!

$350 got me a 2TB RAID 5 setup with the ability to add more drives.. not bad at all.

The RAID setup is as follows:

100MB /boot on drives 1, 2, 3 as RAID 1 with one spare

1GB swap on drives 1, 2, 3 as RAID 1 with one spare

1.9TB / on drives 1, 2, 3 as RAID 5

WANT SO BAD.

LOL Khax wtf are you thinking .

Stick with OBD2 cars and newer just makes your life that much easier .

dont get me wrong volvos desials are amazing but the knowledge to fix them is lacking along with getting the parts and such.

khax 96 and newer for you , considiering you managed to nuke a 98 engine on low oil ...... not sure how that happens but whatever.

Get a '95, then you can learn how to read codes on it without having to use a code reader. It's simple and VERY helpful.

or just get this and hardwire it in :D
