Hello list members: I am new on this list, but I have been using dmraid succesfully with my MB's nvidia nvraid. Very recently I acquired a SiI 3512 PCI SATA raid card. I created a RAID1 array on the card's BIOS using two hard disks of the same type (and size). The RAID array is recognized by the card's BIOS at boot. Unfortunately the raid array is not detected by my openSUSE 11.2 system: linux:~ # dmraid -s no raid disks linux:~ # dmraid -r no raid disks linux:~ # dmraid --version dmraid version: 1.0.0.rc16-3 (2010.01.12) dmraid library version: 1.0.0.rc16-3 (2010.01.12) device-mapper version: 4.15.0 linux:~ # linux:~ # ls -l /dev/mapper total 0 crw-rw---- 1 root root 10, 60 Apr 24 20:17 control linux:~ # These modules, including sata_sil modules are loaded (lsmod): dm_mod 84900 0 sata_sil 10088 0 My dmraid version is: linux:~ # dmraid --version dmraid version: 1.0.0.rc16-3 (2010.01.12) dmraid library version: 1.0.0.rc16-3 (2010.01.12) device-mapper version: 4.15.0 linux:~ # And my kernel is: linux:~ # uname -a Linux linux 2.6.31.14-0.4-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT 2010-10-25 08:45:30 +0200 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux If I boot knoppix live CD 6.2.1 on the very same harwdware the raid array is recognized by the knoppix system: root@Microknoppix:~# dmraid -s *** Active Set name : sil_bhaedgcfdjde size : 320168895 stride : 0 type : mirror status : ok subsets: 0 devs : 2 spares : 0 root@Microknoppix:~# root@Microknoppix:~# dmraid -r /dev/sdb: sil, "sil_bhaedgcfdjde", mirror, ok, 320168895 sectors, data@ 0 /dev/sda: sil, "sil_bhaedgcfdjde", mirror, ok, 320168895 sectors, data@ 0 root@Microknoppix:~# root@Microknoppix:~# dmraid --version dmraid version: 1.0.0.rc16 (2009.09.16) shared dmraid library version: 1.0.0.rc16 (2009.09.16) device-mapper version: 4.18.0 root@Microknoppix:~# ls -l /dev/mapper total 0 crw------- 1 root root 10, 236 Apr 24 20:05 control lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Apr 24 20:05 sil_bhaedgcfdjde -> ../dm-0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Apr 24 20:05 sil_bhaedgcfdjde1 -> ../dm-1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Apr 24 20:05 sil_bhaedgcfdjde2 -> ../dm-2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Apr 24 20:05 sil_bhaedgcfdjde3 -> ../dm-3 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Apr 24 20:05 sil_bhaedgcfdjde5 -> ../dm-4 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Apr 24 20:05 sil_bhaedgcfdjde6 -> ../dm-5 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Apr 24 20:05 sil_bhaedgcfdjde7 -> ../dm-6 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Apr 24 20:05 sil_bhaedgcfdjde8 -> ../dm-7 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Apr 24 20:05 sil_bhaedgcfdjde9 -> ../dm-8 root@Microknoppix:~# uname -a Linux Microknoppix 2.6.37 #13 SMP PREEMPT Sun Jan 23 23:54:32 CET 2011 i686 GNU/Linux root@Microknoppix:~# In knoppix the sata_sil driver is built in the kernel and not loaded as a module, I think. Please help me how I could make openSUSE recognize the sil raid array?
