Hi, thanks for the link! I was planning on just using it as a means to get more ports - and then use mdadm to actually to the raid part.
Been doing a spot of Googling around this myself. Looks like there's
open source code available to support seeing the discs, either with
sata_mv or Adaptec's own aar81xx drivers, which will get you going for
what you say above. However, if you did want to use HostRAID (Adaptec's
name for fakeraid) you either have to build Adaptec's driver linking in
their closed-source binary HostRAID code or use the open source dmraid.
I'm a bit mystified at the idea of Adaptec using Marvell chips, though.
I wonder what that's all about?
Cheers,
John.
