Re: No Array found

[John Burton <j.c.burton@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Depending upon your Linux distribution & kernel revision.... There are
I2O device drivers in the kernel that are supposed to work with the SX6000
- Hopefully the SX6000 works better with the I2O drivers than its little
brother the SuperTrak 100 did - never did get it to work correctly.  If you
*do* get it to work, then your RAID array will be visible as a device under
/dev/i2o, IIRC it will be /dev/i2o/hda.  The other option is to use the Promise
Drivers available on their website. These drivers work fine if you have the
proper distribution of Linux, and the raid array is visible as a SCSI disk.
If you don't have the proper distribution, then you're SOL...
