after searching the SDB as well as other sites such as http://www.linux-ide.org/ and http://tldp.org/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX/howtos.html and even https://listman.redhat.com/archives/ataraid-list/2002-September/thread.html I am really confused. I have a SIIG ATA 100 RAID controller which according to SIIG is a hardware RAID.
Sigh. These cheap-o storage controller manufacturers decided to take their IDE controllers, add array setup and boot support, and call it "hardware" RAID. The RAID functionality is still performed entirely in the operating system so normal people consider it software RAID. If you want *real* IDE RAID, you'll want 3Ware. They have the only *real* IDE RAID controllers I am aware of. (If anybody knows of any others, feel free to correct me) You could also use one of the many SCSI RAID controllers that are available. - -- James Oakley Engineering - SolutionInc Ltd. joakley@solutioninc.com http://www.solutioninc.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/0I8a+FOexA3koIgRAuZ4AKCqNLEjUyRG70fhapO//oNOexs8bACgkqwr j0UT2eA3VkVFL5ldGSYQI+U= =8Idu -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
