Hello Mikael and list, I am currently fighting with a Promise tx2650 raid controller + SuperSwap 1600 SATA-I/II enclosure on a linux 2.6.34.7 (opensuse 11.3) installation. The installation seems to have detected a raid array : # cat /proc/partitions major minor #blocks name 8 0 244198584 sda 8 1 1 sda1 8 5 144585 sda5 8 6 4190208 sda6 8 7 238813184 sda7 8 16 244198584 sdb 8 17 1 sdb1 8 21 144585 sdb5 8 22 4190208 sdb6 8 23 238813184 sdb7 253 0 243164048 dm-0 253 1 243162112 dm-1 253 2 144585 dm-2 253 3 4190208 dm-3 253 4 238813184 dm-4 # mount /dev/mapper/pdc_beaidahccb_part7 on / type ext4 (rw,acl,user_xattr) proc on /proc type proc (rw) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw) debugfs on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw) devtmpfs on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,mode=0755) tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,mode=1777) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,mode=0620,gid=5) /dev/mapper/pdc_beaidahccb_part5 on /boot type ext4 (rw,acl,user_xattr) securityfs on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw) but I do not know how to see that it works. Also the leds on the enclosure do not show activity or raid status. I also wonder why the sata_promise driver is not used (not listed by lsmod) lspci says : # lspci -v -s 02:00.0 02:00.0 RAID bus controller: Promise Technology, Inc.
