A couple months ago, I reinstalled Windows XP Pro and Fedora 8 on my
machine which has the Asus M2NBP-VM CSM motherboard featuring NVidia's
NForce 430B chipset. I have a primary boot drive that is not a part of
the raid but which boots both WinXP and Fedora just fine, and I have a
RAID 1 set up with two 100 GB drives, formatted with NTFS.
Now, under Windows I have MediaShield installed and running which
allows me to check the RAID status, but Windows has always treated the
two drives in the array as a single device even during installation.
Fedora, on the other hand and despite what I've read, is showing the
two individual volumes and mounts both automatically. I can read and
write to either volume separately, but when I boot into Windows I
sometimes lose data because the drives weren't in sync. This is my
first experience with a RAID setup, and I'm not sure what I need to do
to get Fedora recognizing the RAID properly. I did some searching
before this post, and it seems that other people using FC6 were
surprised at the fact that Fedora "just worked" and only mounted their
arrays as a single volumes.
Did I miss something? Any ideas what I can do to remedy this situation?
Thanks,
Raymond
its probably BIOS assisted RAID, aka fakeRAID ... Fedora doesnt support it.
