Intel Software Raid (iswraid)

[Optimized]

Thanks a lot Boji for these useful links.

I get a weird error msg on 6th line when I modprobe iswraid :

iswraid: Intel(tm) Software RAID driver Version 0.0.6
 ataraid/d0: ataraid/d0p1 ataraid/d0p2 ataraid/d0p3 ataraid/d0p4 <
ataraid/d0p5 ataraid/d0p6 >
iswraid: RAID member drive 0 is 70910 Mb (8 / 16)
iswraid: RAID member drive 1 is 70910 Mb (8 / 32)
iswraid: Raid0 array consists of 2 drives.
iswraid: ERROR kernel_scsi_ioctl(SCSI_IOCTL_SEND_COMMAND) failed. code=
621084672
iswraid: inquiry returned error
iswraid: Found 1 RAID array(s)

Is that a problem ?
