Hello, Thank you for your reply. Looks like you didn't get my point: Linux of course should see one hard drive but at capacity of combined two. If I set up HW raid0 of two 20GB identical IDE hard drives Linux should see just one big 40GB hard drive. In my case it sees one 20GB hard drive. So I'm wonder how to correct this issue. Thanks for any thoughts. Alex On Saturday 14 April 2001 04:17 am, you wrote:

Hello Linux folkz, I was trying to install SuSE 7.1 distro on ASUS A7V133 MB with Promise PDC20265 FastTrack100 onboard RAID controller. Surprisingly even though I configured raid0 of two WD 20GB HDs through the BIOS the Linux sees just one 10GB HD.
If i recall correctly, RAID0 is a hardware solution to create one large HD from different smaller ones.
So Linux is (of course!) correct. As far as the operating system sees it, you only have one HD.
Could somebody share his knowledge how to install Linux on HW configured raid array0.
Just use /dev/array0 as you normaly would have used /dev/hdc or /dev/sda.
Thank you in advance. Alex
