RAID 0 , VT8237 chip-set, 2* 250Gb HD works in windows, not in dmraid.
I would like some-one to say that this is no longer supported, or something.
I have moved on, so I guess - windows 1, dmraid 0?
Regards
I am about to change hardware, and still want to use chipset RAID. Are there any chipset RAID that work so I can multi boot?
My VIA used to work, then a version or 2 later #!!#$ . I would still be very happy for a resolution. Do you support AMD RAID chipset?

Won't mdadm overwrite the metadata written to the disk by the BIOS/UEFI.
The RAID needs to be accessible from Windows and Linux. And I already use
the RAID under windows for my USER(would be /home for linux) directory.

Could be true. Maybe just loading the appropriate module will work.

I will run the command tonight when I am home. But as far as I can tell I
only get "found 0 sectors" for all the three disks. Maybe adding the offset
patch from ubuntu will do the trick.

Does this include all the info needed to setup a RAID-5. For instance there
are four different algorithm, left-asymmetric, left-symmetric, right-asymmetric
and right-symmetric that can be picked.

Another patch I can apply to the source tree. :-)
