Since the e-mail for Luben Tuikov, the original writer of the aic94xx driver, no longer works, I was hoping to ask someone a couple simple questions since it relates to the SATA subsystem. If this is the incorrect mailing list, I'm very sorry. Could you refer me to the proper one? I'm at a dead end and hoping someone can point me in a better direction. My question is: Does the aic94xx driver enable the use of the Adaptec SATA Raid functionality, such that, I'm able to see a single "raided" drive, instead of multiple, individual ones. Background information: Thus far, loading the aic94xx module simply says: "aic94xx: Adaptec aic94xx SAS/SATA driver version 1.0.2-2 loaded". However, beyond that message and several /sys entries added, I'm unable to access the raid-1 "drive" created by the adaptec utility. With or without that driver loaded, I still only have access to each individual drive (/dev/sda and /dev/sdb) using ata_piix.
ata_piix will be for an Intel integrated chipset SATA controller, not an aic94xx. Are you sure the drives are actually hooked up through the Adaptec controller?
