Hello, today I was busy investigating hardware RAID for my Dell poweredge 2500. As far as I can see I want the RAID 0+1 configuration: ( 4x 70GB) Logical device set RAID 0 (2 striped disks) : SCSI ID 2 and SCSI ID 3. this RAID 0 set will then be mirrored in a RAID 1 mirror set of 2 disks: SCSI ID 1 and SCSI ID 2 ------------------------- ---------------------- | ______ _______ | RAID 1| _______ _______ | | | ID2 | | ID3 | | ----> | | ID0 | | ID1 | | | ------- ------- | | ------- ------- | ------------------------- ---------------------- ^^^ RAID 0 I configured the RAID 0 set as bootable in the PERC 3 Dell tool Then, I booted into the Debian setup, and checked with fdisk, I have /dev/sdb1 : 140GB but I also have a /dev/sda1 of 70GB, this is something I should not see, I presume? Is there something wrong then? I thought the only thing Linux should see is the RAID 0 striped set of 140GB? Hoping I made my problem clear enough, Jurgen http://geographiczoom.com -* Pictures from all over the world! *- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
