so what's the sata_nv I see during the install, that's not a driver?

I'm familiar with fake-raid and usually avoid it, but as a dev box it seemed OK to let it slide and put the cash into more RAM & disks.

Hello Karl,

Any suggestions on the step-by-step sequence for this?

bonus/ p.s. -anyone had any experience with the Nvidia onboard RAID/ Supermicros? Did you like it, (I'm an LSI-Logic fan myself), just looking for opinions...



NVRaid is not supported as there is no NVRaid driver for Linux. NVRaid also belongs to what Linux kernel developers call 'fake-raid'. It is really just some RAID Bios coupled with a software RAID driver.

You are better off using them as individual disks and Linux software raid instead.



the sata_nv is the interface driver for your sata interface.
