<br>
I've recently installed a ubuntu dapper Linux in my box with RAID
<br>
support following the steps in
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto</a>.
<br>
<br>
In the BIOS I've configured the RAID as RAID-1(Mirror). The disks are
<br>
SATA of 160GB of capacity.
<br>
The motherboard has an Intel Application RAID software.
<br>
<br>
The thing is that I would like to have fault tolerant support, but as
<br>
I can see in the net forums there is not that kind of support (i.e.: a
<br>
disk crashes). In my case, when I unplug the power cable in one of the
<br>
disks of the raid, the system freezes.
<br>
<br>
Do you know if there exists patches for the kernel which enables an
<br>
error handling in failure case?
<br>
<br>
If not, what sense has to have RAID-1 (fakeRAID) support in that kind
<br>
of motherboards?
<br>
<br>
Currently I have the 2.6.15-27-686 kernel version, and the
<br>
1.0.0.rc13 for the dmraid package.
<br>
<br>
Thank you,
<br>
Joaquin.

<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Hi,<br>
to have that kind of features in a fakeRAID you have to use binary
drivers developed by the chip manufacturer or by some third party. A
good start is to find a HP Proliant server that uses the same SATA RAID
chip because HP has binary drivers for a lot of Intel chipsets and
Linux dists (mainly RHEL and SuSE).<br>
