5x 120GB IBM 7200RPM IDE disks, RAID5 on an EVMS/LVM Volume
And what kernel are you currently using?
I dont have batter cache, but am I not safe with an USV , that shutsdown
the machine in case of power failure ?
No, if the power supply from your machine dies or the power cable from the
UPS to the computer gets loose, you're screwed. If you "just switch of the
machine after a failure instead of resetting it the ram is cleared and
you're cache is gone.
Ah and system crashes can also cause problems like this.
uh, are there tools for that ?
I believe 3ware has a utility for that, although I remember that you might
need to do it on a per drive basis.
it doesnt, rebooted like 3 times in one year, nothing happened sofar..
A normal reboot doesn't cover it. The machine needs to loose power for this
to show up.
