Those are not hardware raid at all.
They are called "fake raid" for a reason.
A hardware raid is transparent and needs no driver whatsoever.
Right. As in it just looks like a SCSI or SATA to the box. I recall working on a IBM AIX system, a SP3 rack with a set of multiprocessors. There was a (single) (+backup) fibre feed to the other side of the wall. That was a room with 30 linear feet of 5 foot high cabinets containing racks each with 5 drives (I forget their size). Each rack represented a hardware RAID array. Or perhaps each cabinet. Or perhaps the whole room? But as far as the machine at whose console I sat it was one logical drive. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
