Re: Rosewill RSV-S8 Storage Enclosure Support

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



I had a similar problem with the sil3132 and a 4 drive enclosure.

I was using CentOS 5.1, at the time.  Installing 5.2 with the 3132
drivers form the SiI website, resolved the raid issues.
