Hi, I hope this is the right forum to ask this question in. I'm about to build a system from scratch with an X48 intel board with onboard ICH9R RAID. (MSI X48C Platinum) I'm planning to use 4 x Seagate Barracuda 500GB 7200RPM S300 32MB. I intend to setup the drives/RAID using the BIOS RAID as Logical Drive 1: RAID 10 over all four drives, 400MB per drive - main storage area (so total size 800MB) Logical Drive 2: RAID 0 over all four drives, 100MB per drive - swap and temporary areas (intending to do a fair bit of transcoding - total size 400MB) I will be installing Fedora Core 9 on this (if it ever downloads) >From my understanding the RAID should be supported by dmraid ok 1) Is this correct? 2) Will it work "out of the box" or will I need to do complicated things? ;) 3) Anything I should know? (caveats/restrictions/don't do that do this/etc) ? 4) With this chipset and drivers how does RAID 5 compare with RAID 10 (if anyone knows) ? In return, is there anything I can test/try/record during the process which might help anyone else?
