You'll be fine just using it as a plain hd* type disc. 1+0 spans are single disc JBOD sets..... There is *no* RAID. You were just tricking the card into calling it one so that the system could see it. Mount it plain, leave ataraid and pdcraid on the cutting room floor, and Promise's junk, too. - Rich 'Forge' Mingin -----Original Message----- From: ataraid-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ataraid-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Darren Nickerson Sent: April 20, 2002 16:36 To: ataraid-list@xxxxxxxxxx Cc: Andre Hedrick; Arjan van de Ven Subject: Re: Promise FastTrak-100 >>>>> On Sat, 20 Apr 2002, "Murty" == Murty Rompalli wrote: Murty> You have to offset the first IO number by 2 to get the second IO; because Murty> the first IO number is infact IO range of size 8 and the second IO number Murty> is a particular IO address.

I'm able to mount my disk's partition (hde1) without using RAID, seemingly. Recall that Promise's driver was reporting: Promise FastTrak Series Linux Driver v1.20 (build 9) scsi3 : FASTTRAK Vendor: Promise Model: 1+0 Span Rev: 1.10 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Attached scsi disk sdb at scsi3, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 SCSI device sdb: 120103137 512-byte hdwr sectors (61493 MB) sdb: sdb1 I'm not sure about "Model: 1+0 Span" . . . can I just access this as a normal IDE device? Ataraid still hates it: [root@hewes darren]# insmod pdcraid Using /lib/modules/2.4.9-31smp/kernel/drivers/ide/pdcraid.o /lib/modules/2.4.9-31smp/kernel/drivers/ide/pdcraid.o: init_module: No such device Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters [root@hewes darren]# Thanks! I can see my data now, I just don't know if I dare write to it mounted at hde1?! -Darren _______________________________________________ Ataraid-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ataraid-list
