I had posted an earlier message stating that the NVidia raid controller was linux compatible. Well it isn't. While the bios setup raid arrays SHOULD look like a single device per array they actually still appear as individual devices. Since the manufacturers either explicitly don't support linux or provide very little support (i.e. moving from 2.4 to 2.6 linux sabotaged all my raid arrays), my opinion is that any reliance on unsupported software has long term maintainability issues. I have decided to disable all on board raid controllers and just use the SATA interfaces as single dmraid drives. This also provides the ability to move disk arrays around to other linux boxes without having to worry about what controllers to use. I think embedded raid is really useless because support is spotty and there is no compatibility standard. The raid manufacturers really need to go out of business.

Hi ataraid-list, i'm wondering if it is possible to get support for the ULI-m5288 RAID into dmraid? Asus has only binary drivers for RH, Fedora and Suse, but no source or anything... I already tried mailing them, but i couldn't register my mainboard yet (because they messed sth. up with those serial-numbers) and therefore cannot contact the technical support..;\ Any help to get my Asus A8R-MVP working with Sata-Raid1 is appreciated. THX! greets, Roman v.
