Hi all,
I've been thinking about migrating disks (earlier thread).
But then I figured, hmmm, why not go to RAID 0 SATAII, performance will
be sweet, and then I can dual boot between XP/FC
I know how to do this with my eyes closed for Windows, and I know
performance is very, very nice.
But had no idea how to do this for Linux, but have setup software RAID
before.
So after some hunting found the following blurb on the Intel web site:
http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/sb/CS-013548.htm
What I'd like confirmed is the next bit about the Option ROM to setup
software RAID:
1. All I need to do is add the kernel patch, but this will only let me
see the SATA RAID container
2. I must then use software RAID to create a RAID 0 array, as there's
no RAID being done in hardware, because it's not really a hardware RAID
chipset and that for Windows it probably just does its own software RAID
with the driver provided, but for Linux lets you do this yourself, cause
why reinvent the wheel?
Thanks
