>No idea, dmraid detects ddf1 metadata. Is there an option to choose the >format? Not in dmraid; it just reads the metadata on the disks. Something else put the DDF metadata on the disks. Is there an Adaptec add-in card in this system? The OROM puts the metadata on the disks and should be able to reconfigure. I have no idea if you can migrate/switch metadata formats with out data loss. I don't think it can be done but someone much wiser than I should speak up if I am wrong. If you can risk loosing the array set, you could enable the S5000VSA's onboard RAID support (assuming that there is not an add-in card being used). Buried in the BIOS of the S5000VSA is an option to enable RAID. Select Advanced -> ATA Controller Configuration -> set On board SATA Controller as Enabled -> set SATA Mode as Enhanced -> set Configure SATA as RAID as Enabled. This just enables the 'Intel RAID option ROM' which can then be used to create an ISW RAID set. Then you can use the ISW segfault patch... >Yes, I noticed this. >Thanks for the info. Sorry I couldn't be any more help. Hopefully someone who knows more will add to the thread. _______________________________________________ Ataraid-list mailing list Ataraid-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ataraid-list
