turn that fake raid crap off, and use linux software raid instead.
Anaconda makes combining linux raid mirroring and LVM a bit tricky at
setup time, but it -can- be done. custom disk partitioning, delete all
partitions, create a 120MB /boot on both drives, create a raid1 mirror
on the rest of the two drives, then create LVM partition(s) as / (and
/var,/home, whatever if you want several seperate file systems, your
choice) in that raid metadisk, and install to that.
Hi John, thank you very much for information. Alltought i am not aware
why is better use software raid than raid solution provided by that
board. Or it is so that its also software raid imitation that uses own
software (somewhere in raid bios) to do the same as linux software
raid can provide? What about the speed , does it affects somehow?
the onboard 'raid' is fake raid, implemented in the BIOS and Windows
device drivers. horrid nasty stuff. the actual hardware is simply SATA
channels. Linux's own raid is MUCH smarter about things and more
predictable, also higher performance as it has a much better idea of
whats going on than the device driver layer could.
