Top of the day to you all...

I am investigating SCSI RAID controllers that have Linux
driver support.   I am looking for some anecdotal information
about a quality solution to attach 8 bay drive hot swappable
drive cases, using SCSI Ultra2 (68pin) external cables to
a server in a mid-sized network.   The cases are 19" rackmounts.

I am aware the Adaptec RAID controllers do not have Linux
driver support.   I have been investigating Mylex cards.  Anyone
have any practical experience with Mylex and Linux?  Any
other brand recommendations would also be appreciated.

Also, if anyone knows of a complete solution in a drive chassis
as follows:
   (8) hot swap drive bays
    redundant 300watt power supply
    onboard RAID hot swap controller
    Linux supported

I would appreciate your advice.   Vendor and manufacture sources
are mostly needed.

Thanks
