Personally, I put all the disks in JBOD mode, but I never had these disks connected to anything but my highpoint cards. Perhaps I should tell you what my setup's like: * In the system I've put 3 Highpoint RocketRaid 2300 cards. * Two of the cards each have 4 Hitachi 750GB disks * Each disk is put into JBOD mode in the 'Raid' Bios of the 2300 * On the drives I have 2 partitions, one 200MB partition and a partition spanning the rest of the 750GB * Both partitions are linux softraid * /dev/md0 is a mirror of all 8 disks and serves as /boot (200MB) * /dev/md1 contains an LVM volume that houses my other paritions (4.7TB) Right now with 2.6.23.9 + patched sata_mv the softraid seems to come up just fine but I pvscan is unable to locate the pv located on md1. I'll try and make a bootable USB stick with my patched 2.6.23.9 and see what the results are then.
.. How are you booting without the USB stick? Are you booting from the Highpoint card drives? What bootloader ?
