Hi
A server has FakeRAID installed, I want to remove it to make it mdadm driven ....
If I delete the FakeRAID including
- disabling it in the BIOS
- removing the dmraid driver from initrd
- deleting all meta data from partitions
- deleting all dmraid packages
is the data still available on the drives, i.e. the partitions, filesystem and files are still ok?
I know that FakeRAID controller is not a real hardware controller and the driver (thus CPU doing the work) makes it look like one drive ...
So if you create a partition it would be a standard (and same) partition on each of the drive connected to a FakeRAID?
This would me there are just normal drives with partitions and file system that is ready to be used after the deletion of the faeRAID?
thanks
Jobst
