I am using fakeraid with an ASUS MB. I had previously used this machine for Win2K8R2. I have two 1TB drives set as mirroring Raid 1 in the bios.
When I installed Centos(Cpanel start disk) it gave me errors about this disk only having 3/4 metadata areas. I reset the raid and reinstalled but even with the warning it installed ok and has been running fine.
I am concerned about fixing it and would also like to find a way to monitor the raid in case it goes down.
Here is the output of fdisk -l and dmraid -s -s
