It is basically a simple controller chip with BIOS controlled RAID functionality provided by software. I feel you are much better by using Linux software RAID (more flexibility, better performance, no requirement for special driver modules). Though, there is dmraid available, developed by Heinz Mauelshagen: http://people.redhat.com/heinzm/sw/dmraid/ dmraid (Device-Mapper Raid tool) discovers, [de]activates and displays properties of software RAID sets (i.e. ATARAID) and contained DOS partitions using the device-mapper runtime of the 2.6 kernel. The following ATARAID types are supported on Linux 2.6: Highpoint HPT37X Highpoint HPT45X Intel Software RAID LSI Logic MegaRAID NVidia NForce Promise FastTrack Silicon Image Medley VIA Software RAID *** NEW *** Alexander -- Alexander Dalloz | Enger, Germany | GPG http://pgp.mit.edu 0xB366A773 legal statement: http://www.uni-x.org/legal.html Fedora Core 2 GNU/Linux on Athlon with kernel 2.6.11-1.27_FC2smp Serendipity 19:55:55 up 20 days, 18:33, load average: 0.52, 0.42, 0.37
