I am running an Adaptec 2410SA controller with four SATA 160
drives. Everything installed perfectly with FC3-test3 and FC3. Each was
a fresh format and install. I manually partitioned the empty space with
disk druid so I'm not using LVM, but I don't think that should make a
difference.
The only issue I had with it was random lockups under heavy load. That's
when I figured the dumb card badly needed a heat sink and/or better air
flow, and drilled a hole in the case in front of the card for a _quiet_ 4cm
fan (They do exist. Really!) I haven't had a lock-up since. I haven't
found a heat sink I could glue on yet, but might not need one now... and
I'm not sure where to get really good heat conductive glue.
