Thanks Carl I'll check oclug out. Its onboard sata, ic7-g mobo using the silicon image pci chip. Suse 8.2 recognises the drives and I originally installed it on one of them with no problems (don't know how to get rid of it though), so I'm hoping it should work. I'll suss it out eventually. Thanks, Marc.

Hi There,

I'm a complete linux newbie so please excuse me, I been reading the list for a while picking up what I can but this just seems to be going over my head :(

I just built my first pc from scratch and decided to jump in the deep end. I installed suse 8.2 on one of the sata drives, then bought an ide so I switched sata off and installed on that (long story). Now I have the second sata I want to set up raid-1 and if possible assign a user to these drives leaving the ide (hda) just for the os, at the moment I have:

hda - 32.7 gb - st340015A - hda1 - 1.0 gb - Linux swap - swap hda2 - 36.2 gb - Linux native - / hde - 114.5 gb - maxtor - hde1 - 1.0 gb - Linux swap - hde2 - 113.5 gb - Linux native - hdg - 114.5 gb - maxtor -
