I've got a bunch of mission-critical Postgres servers on
Opterons, all with no less than 4GB RAM, running Linux +
XFS, and most with LSI MegaRAID cards. We've never had a
single system crash or failure on our postgres servers,
and some of them are well-used and with uptimes in excess
of a year.
It may be anecdotal, but LSI MegaRAID cards generally seem
to work pretty well with Linux. The only problem I've
ever seen was a BIOS problem between the LSI and the
motherboard, which was solved by flashing the BIOS on the
motherboard with the latest version (it was grossly out of
date anyway).
