hi! yes, that isn't correct... it should be "reiserfs". |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
it doesn't appear until after you run mkreiserfs. example: |

according to the parted manual, it can be one of the following: |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
ext2 |
| 36 |
fat16, fat32 |
| 37 |
hfs, hfs+, hfsx |
| 38 |
linux-swap |
| 39 |
NTFS |

I don't have a UPS, but the server has a redundant power supply |
| 49 |
which is connected to two separate power circuits. so if one goes |
| 50 |
out, no big deal. in addition, the 9500-12MI controller has a battery- |
| 51 |
backup unit (BBU) installed to preserve the write cache in case of a |
| 52 |
power failure. |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
if you're concerned about power failures when using 3ware cards, I |
| 55 |
recommend turning off the write cache, or using a BBU (costs about |
| 56 |
$100) if you're using a 95XX-series controller. |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
unfortunately the 7-8xxx series controllers don't have BBU capability. |
