what /dev/device is associated with an Areca RAID card?
I'm running a computer with Windows 7 as a main OS. I've got Debian 6.0.3 installed on a separate partition since I prefer working with Debian myself. Anyway there is a big RAID Array running from an Areca card, partitioned as NTFS.
How can I find that out which device is associated with the raid array? Currently I'm running:
Code:
grep --ignore-case areca /proc/
(only feedback is not sufficient memory in /proc/kcore)
Well it does show up in the lspci w/o -vv so it's recognized. If you still need the output I'll post it later on (the ol' folks are working on the pc now)
I can't seem to find a block device that I can use to mount. On the top of my head I did:
If I try to 'cat' the last 4 devices I got an error and no output so that's not the 4 disks attached to the controller. With the sda and sdb (being 2 physical present discs) I got the expected "messy" output.
lspci just shows whatever is plugged in. It doesn't mean it's detected and working. With the -vv option you might see if a kernel module has been loaded to support it.

Just one of the commands that can help identify things to aid in troubleshooting. Sometimes errant loads or misconfiguration can be identified.
