Hello 
Thanks for help Gaiseric

Probably you misunderstood me Gaiseric.

I put 3 ware controller with new disks to test machine (gigabyte mobo). I have
installed Cenots with samba on raid 5 on this controller and I want to move this
discs with controller to server machine (Intel Server Board SE7320SP2) 
Will linux (centos ) boot ??? 

I know that is 2 different motherboards so Anaconda will have to detect new
hardware and install appropriate drivers.

Another questions are:
- what filesystem will be most efficient ext2,ext3,ext4 or xfs ?
- what partition scheme use:
- sda - 3xWDC RE3 1GB -RAID5 / /boot /var/ /home (on home partition will be data
of samba users store)
- sdb - 3xWDC RE3 1GB /mnt/scans (on this partition will be stored scans (.tif)
the data for a large increase in)

So I do not understand your sentences:
"Don't use RAID5 for your /boot or OS slices.      If your raid 
> configuration gets messed up the system can't boot."
Can you explain it ?? How to install boot when I have 6 disc (3 disc per raid5
unit?)

I dont' want to compile samba. I would like to use .rpm from centos or epel
repos and update samba via yum. Is there any version compatibile with Win 7 in
this repos ???

- Where can I find changes beetwen samba Version 3.0.28a-1.fc7 and this from
centos 5.5 repo ?

- How to set test machine to BDC (to copy user tdbsam and policies from PDC and
migrate to PDC ???) 
I understand that the domain SID will remain the same and do not have to re-add
clients to domain ?

There is my config form fedora 7
