I'm trying to set up a server with suse7 on a Abit KT7-RAID mainboard. I use 2 45Gb harddisks from ibm in raid 1 (mirror) mode. I set up raid 1 in the raid-controllers bios and booted suse7 from the dvd. but yast2 shows a capacity of 7,8 gb instead of 45gb and 2 harddisks. I hoped to find there only one drive with the right size.
Has anyone any idea what the problem is and how I can solve it? Do I need a driver? I couldn't find one!
The Abit KT7-RAID mainboard has a High Point HTP370 IDE Controller. Have a look at www.linux-ide.org and you will find the following statement: "Nothing below this line does RAID in/with Linux Drivers." On High Point's homepage, you will find the following statement: "Note: At this time, the HPT370 Linux patch is compatible with single disk functions only. (Non-RAID)". So, from this point of view, it is not possible to use the internal RAID function of the motherboard with Linux OS. Bye, Thomson -- Dipl.-Geophys.
