Thanks for all the info, but no. I would very much like the 20276 to be a RAID controller, rather than an IDE controller, however, I would like to gain access to all my drives. Currently, as I pointed out in my initial email, the RAID controller creates a RAID0 out of the two master drives connected to it, and what looks like 2 more RAID0s out of the 2 slave drives. Now why it would create a RAID0 out of a single drive eludes me. However, it does not allow me to create a single RAID0 out of the 2 slave drives together, because the damned thing is a "Lite" version of the BIOS which only accomodates one RAID0 array. IOW, this is my current setup (or so it sounds from what the BIOS is telling me: +----------------+ |primary master | | +-/dev/ataraid/disc0 (RAID0) |secondary master| +----------------+ +-------------+ |primary slave+-/dev/ataraid/disc1 (RAID0) +-------------+ +---------------+ |secondary slave+-/dev/ataraid/disc2 (RAID0) ???? +---------------+ This is what my BIOS says on bootup (I mentioned this in my previous message): =================================================== ID Mode Size Track-Mapping Status 1 2+0 Stripe 40839M 4965/255/63 Functional 2 1+0 Stripe 39999M 4862/255/63 Functional 3 * 1+0 Stripe 39999M 4862/255/63 Functional Does this output reflect the picture I drew above ? In my mind it seems to, except for the '*' next to the 3. I don't understand the meaning of the '*', but that drive seems to be my missing /dev/ataraid/disc2, so I doubt the presence of the star and the fact that it's missing are not related. If somebody has had some experience with this problem, please let me know ! Thanks ! P.S.: I'm not subscribed to linux-raid, so please CC me on the answer.
