mandrake 9.1 and raid 0
 

ciao , i'm italian and i'm sorry for my english..
now i have a motherboard asus a7v 333
with promise pdc20276
two ibm 60 Gb configured in raid 0

the install program of mandrake don't found my raid partition..

someone know this problem?????

and there are a solution...simply..
(i am a newbie)

thank you!

I am not familiar with raid0, but I have a server with a raid5 array. The five drives are seen as one. I them partitioned it and installed Linux. I think that your raid 0 would be the same. It would stripe the drive and it would be seen as one. Since it is done through hardware.

in raid 0 my two hd goes to 1 of 120 Gb

i have created a volume whit promise software (total 120 Gb)

i have installed windows xp in one partiton of 100 Gb and the other 10 Gb i have reserved for mandrake 9.1...

but the setup program of mandrake 9.1 don't recognize the raid volume..

winxp to resolve this problem ask a floppy with raid drivers.. linux no?????


can you help me....

thanks


ps you have installed mandrake 9.1???

Sorry, but I did not think before submitted an answer. So Promise cards are not supported by Linux. You might want to check promise.com and see if it is.

in my motherboard cd there aren't a files for linux..

in promise site my model isn't listed..

in asus site no one


you don't know anyone patch or other for this problem??

inmandrake site i don't found anything...

it's possible????

tanks for patience
