Hallo ted, Am Saturday, September 16, 2006, 4:51:47 PM, schrieben Sie: thx for the reply, i had the raid working under nforce4 with dmraid just fine, but the board crashed, thats why i'm stuck with this new board now.. As far as i know most of the onboard Raid Controllers are just some coverup for a software raid, since you need the drivers (e.g. for winxp). I can use both sata drives fine, but not as raid, because no driver AND not (yet) supported by dmraid. The dmraid-site told me to post to this list. I would be willing to test and provide as much assistance as possible. However, i will continue trying to bug the Asus support, until i get a definitive answer... at least now (after ~3 weeks and 3 requests) i got an response about the issue with registering my mainboard...;\ > 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. > Tedc > -----Original Message----- > From: ataraid-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:ataraid-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Roman v.
