Rocketraid 2320 and later versions of fedora


I have a RocketRaid 2320 card in my Linux machine running a 7TB raid where most of my files are stored. I am presently running FC14 because this is the latest version for which I can get the drivers from the HighPoint site to compile.

I would very much like to upgrade this computer to FC20. Has anyone done this and been able to get the card to work properly? Does anyone know of a driver for the RocketRaid 2320 beyond version 1.10? Should FC 20 have this driver built in and work without needing to compile a driver?

Thanks for any help.

i would NOT!!!! put fedora on a SERVER!!!

that 14 install was ONLY supported for 13 MONTHS
it went end of life all the way back in Dec of 2011

install CentOS 6.6 or 7.0 ( the 7 repos are not up to par with 6 yet)

if you put 20 on that server now
in a month you will need to REINSTALL when fedora 21 comes out
then REINSTALL WITH FEDORA 22 6 MONTHS LATER
two FULL system reinstalls PER YEAR

that is a ton of work

CentOS 6 still has 5 YEARS!!! -- YEARS of support not months of support

Might have to look at how others seem to be getting it solved. The driver ought to be available and may work with playing.

Hey dude, 1.10 for the 223x RocketRaid cards is probably last Linux driver HighPoint will release for these cards. The Ubuntu guys have got it figured out for the 3.11 kernel though (the same version which FC 20 ships with). You will need to patch the source in the 1.10 driver before it will compile, you can find the patch here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1899544&page=2

Cheers!

Also, just to let you know, I've got the same 2320 card working on FC20 running under kernel 3.17.4-200. Let me know if you run into problems.
