Mailing lists are in a state of flux but you can find links to a number of interesting lists from the Linux Documentation Homepage . These are intended as the primary starting points to get the background information as well as show you how to solve a specific problem. In other words, use the source, Luke . If you are about to ask any questions about the kernel you should read this first, it will save you and many others a lot of time and possibly embarrassment. Use cat rather than more to view the files as they are reported as being zero length.
Reports are that less works well here.
There is a huge number of informative web pages out there and by their very nature they change quickly so don't be too surprised if these links become quickly outdated. A good starting point is of course the Metalab LDP archive that is a information central for documentation, project pages and much, much more. Mike Neuffer, the author of the DPT caching RAID controller drivers, has some interesting pages on SCSI and DPT . Software RAID development information can be found at Linux Kernel site along with patches and utilities. Disk related information on benchmarking, RAID, reliability and much, much more can be found at Linas Vepstas project page.
