sil3132 drivers in Fedora 8

MikeyCarter · 06-13-2008, 04:37 PM

I just installed a sil3132 Raid Card in my system.

Configured two 250G drives for Raid-0

In the system-config-lvm I see two individual drives 250G.

Shouldn't it be one drive at 500G? My external enclosure works as one drive. Am I missing something here?

ok missed on the description: should have said Raid 0 not being recognized or something.

But anyways here's some more info:

More than likely your raid controller is a fakeraid controller and not a true hardware raid controller. Fakeraid is a half breed of software raid and hardware raid. If it were a true hardware raid card, your OS would see both drives as one (assuming properly configured in cards bios settings). If the card manufacturer would provide the proper drivers for linux (as they do for windows) this would be a non issue. My best advice is to break down and buy a true hardware raid card (they start at about $200).

Well, I would use the linux mdadm tool to configure linux raid, then you will see a volume called /dev/md0 or similar which you can add to your lvm

I use sil3124, and use mdadm to setup a software raid on Linux.
I don;t know how to setup a hardware raid on linux.

However, in windows, Silicon image provides a java utility to setup a hardware raid.
