A software raid controller? Never heard of such a beast before. I always thought that there are exactly two ways to do raid, one way is to have it all hidden in the controller, which makes the RAID mirror appear as just a single disk to the kernel, and the other way is to use the kernel software raid (configured with mdadm). I've never heard of a software raid controller, where the kernel must do the work itself. After all, what's the controller's job and why is it called a RAID controller then? But I guess we have to use software (i.e. kernel driven, mdadm) raid then? regards Hadmut - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
