If you want to provide extra incentive, this is the way to do it. I think it would be easier to just get a new RAID card that has the features you want though. | |

| Sep 20, 2011 at 2:32 | comment | added | Wesley | I only downvoted because, while this situation ended well, I think the bounty system is flawed and can be improved for the benefit of the community. I don't think we should award an A for effort. That seems to encourage a "Lots of FLOPS, but no I/O" scramble for busywork responses that aren't actually answers. Take my recent shot at a bounty. I spent a lot of time researching and typing, but it wasn't the answer. I wouldn't have deserved the 100 points that I was one upvote shy of getting. serverfault.com/questions/308781/… | |
