Hi ..<br>
new to the list. .. and a bit of a newbie :-(<br>
<br>
I have a new machine with an Intel S3000AMLX Motherboard running Intel
Storage Manager.<br>
Irritatingly you cannot set the bios to boot off alternative disks ...
Or I would software raid .. Grrr<br>
<br>
Anyway <br>
<br>
I am trying to install Ubuntu 8.04 to get the 4 sata disks to run Raid
5 configuration.<br>
<br>
I have selected RAID 5 it in the BIOS, and started up the Ubuntu live
CD and installed dmraid-rc14<br>
<br>
When I do an dmraid -l, it says that only raid 0 and 1 are supported
for isw, which I am<br>
presuming is the correct device for this fake-raid setup ??<br>
<br>
Reading a few of the threads I thought that rc-14 would handle isw raid
5, with the auto-rebuilding<br>
being released in rc-15 ?<br>
<br>
Am I mistaken ? If I install rc-15 can I get raid 5 on the isw ? <br>
<br>
At this stage I am not too concerned about the rebuilding, and it
seems that this is <br>
happening real soon now.<br>
<br>
TIA<br>
Regards<br>
Peter<br>
