Loading V3.3.2 Aug 2014 on an asus z9pa-u8 mobo, with the controller in LSI RAID mode and configured using RAID 1 via the BIOS, will break the RAID. (no longer configured as RAID). All it takes is starting mdadm which seems to work for that session but on reboot the RAID is gone. The z9pa-u8 uses the C602 intel chipset. Customer reported same on what they called an Intel ESRT2 which appears to use the same line C600 based chipset. Not sure if in LSI mode, but presume so. That controller allows you to pick LSI mode, Intel RAID mode, or just non RAID normal controller mode. Unfortunately, mine is a production server so I can't do much testing (even trying to load it will probably break it). Not sure if you can get your hands on one to test. Loading using DMRAID worked okay which is how I got around it. -- 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
