There is a section in regards to external metadata https://raid.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/RAID_setup#External_Metadata But I guess I need to update with additional information on how to install to it. Do you have Intel MSM Option ROM on your system? If so, then you create a RAID volume in the RAID optionROM and then when you do a install say for example Fedora 12, you specifiy you have "advanced storage device" (I think?) and you will see the RAID volume available for installation. I had issues with Fedora 13. There is a bug that causes crash when you attempt to install to an IMSM volume. And yes you install to the volume. The container can have 2 different RAID volumes. > P.S.: I would be still interested to hear how the two solutions that > support an intel BIOS-supported (mdadm-imsm >=v3 and dmraid >=v1) raid > compare to each other in terms of: speed (throughput), load/overhead > (cpu/ram), stability, features. Just FYI Intel is moving forward with MDRAID. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
