RocketRAID 230x 4 Port SATA-II Controller (rev 02) Which uses the sata_mv module. From dmesg: [ 1.062151] sata_mv: Highpoint RocketRAID BIOS CORRUPTS DATA on all attached drives, regardless of if/how they are configured. BEWARE! [ 1.062156] sata_mv: For data safety, do not use sectors 8-9 on "Legacy" drives, and avoid the final two gigabytes on all RocketRAID BIOS initialized drives. So stay away from RocketRAID :-) (I only use it as a HBA) Cheers, /M -- 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
