These fake RAID controllers are all software RAID; the only issue is that the BIOS understands them and thus can boot from them. Once booted, the actual RAID-ness is done via the OS. Linux just needs to be able to comprehend the on-disk structures that describe the array so that it can assemble it. In my experience, dmraid just works; the Fedora installer sees the RAID set and assembles is properly; you just see a large device, which you can partition as normal. - J< </pre> </blockquote> okay, sounds promising, but if you refer to my "dmraid" entry earlier, there seems to be some problems? I was expecting there to be the additional partitions under /dev/mapper/<raid_dev>, then I could mount them as file systems? Thanks </body> </html>
