I am currently dealing with EXACT same problem...... Best as I can tell (can't get any answers from irc) it MUST be software RAID on 2.6.x kernels. Trying to find information on SuSE portal is not an easy task. The error message I believe is refering to this page. http://support.novell.com/techcenter/sdb/en/2004/04/91_fakeraid.html If it is INDEED true, why don't they just say right at the error message, or give the exact URL. So my question, is whether or not a doze box with supplied drivers will operate faster that my SuSE with software RAID. I'm building this box to replace a NT4 server with same RAID (MB, SATA, & Driver) on a 100 mbit network. This new server is amd_64 asus a8n-e w/ 2 250 gig sata2 drives that will be pugged into a gigabit network solely for the purpose of providing a SAMBA share. Will the software RAID be fast enough for SAMBA share on gigabit network with a dozed full time apps getting their data realtime from server? I guess if it is not, then, there are 2 questions. Is there a TRUE high perfomance hardware RAID that IS supported? or (depending on above answer) Would I be better of to mirror drives with rsync after hours.... B-) P.S. And no, this ISN'T a hijack. It more information for same or at least similar problem for more luck in getting answers for OP as well as me. On Monday 15 May 2006 10:52 am, Anders Norrbring wrote:
I was kinda surprised.. I enabled hardware JBOD on an ASUS motherboard, built a volume and fired up Linux... It still saw two separate disks, and not the built volume.. Can this be worked around, or will I be forced to use software md?
