Subject: RE: [SLE] KT7 raid
Morning Eric,
I had/have the exact same problem. In the end I bought a new hard disk and
put that on the ATA-66 bus and boot everything off that disk; this also
serves as my Linux disk. Highpoint (the manufacturer of the onboard raid)
have Linux drivers that support ATA-100 but unfortunately no raid support
yet. I am considering dropping raid 0 and using the two disks as separate
ATA-100 disks; I am finding I use Windows 2000 less and less now. Obviously
I would lose the speed advantage of raid 0 in the other operating systems
but I would gain more hard disk space and extra speed for Linux.
Andy.

Subject: [SLE] KT7 raid
<p><p>Hello all.....
I have aquired a set of of slick-arse boards in which onboard hardware raid
0 raid 1
can take place via hardware setup in the bios Abit kt7 and bx133 raid
boards......
Question is ? is it possible to use this in linux at full capacity as in
windows/2000
I set it up in the bios and then partition it from within the setup during
w2k install
my two seagate brracudas ide 15g look like one 30g drive and fast as
hell(well as far as ide is concernd........
I will start looking just wondering if it is implemented in linux full
ata/100 support on these boards or not.................
Second question if this works then when installing suse/redhat it looks like
you have to partition each drive seperately so I was confused as to if the
raid 0 is realy there or not........
someone give a shout if they have some experience w/this please....
