RAID

Got a RAID question. My PC has 2 identical 500gb HDs. My BIOS setup does not show anything related to RAID, I've checked every entry, every option, yet the 9.10 installer "sees" RAID.

So, is my hardware physically set up as RAID? How can I check? I'd like to have it as 2 separate drives, and screw RAID. What do I do?

Hello,

When in YaST/System/Partitioner I try to create RAID for my second HDD which is named "sdb". My original "sda" hdd is partitioned as follows: dev/sda, disk type dev/sda1, linux swap, swap, swap dev/sda2, linux native, ext3, / dev/sda3, linux native, ext3, /home

Like TrevorH said, the hardware RAID most likely does offer configuration possibilities. Look for the "LUN" or "logical drive" keywords from its (BIOS-based) setup utility. &q... [by jlehtone]

I know Linux has great capabilities over the years of using it but I can't seem to find an exact name or setup for this scenario. I want to do Matrix RAID (that is not the correct general name but it was as close as I got) on two HDD. I want to put the OS in RAID 1 for redundancy and then have another partition or folder as RAID 0 for TV recordings both on two HDD.

Hello,

I used mdadm to create a RAID device, which apparently is /dev/md0. I need to mount it in order to be able to use it. "Mount" is asking for the filesystem type. I know I need a -t switch, but don't know what to do.

I had a Windows 7 RC/openSUSE 11.1 dual-boot on this computer running on RAID 1.

When I installed Windows 7 final, somehow it screwed up my RAID 1. I fought with it for a while, but decided to wipe the logical drive, and then go into BIOS and disable RAID. I reinstalled Windows 7 on the HDD, but I have no RAID now.

Hey Guys,

OS: Ubuntu server 11.10

Okay i have 4 hdd and raided through an intel raid controler in RAID 1 and im trying to install Ubuntu on them, but its not picking up my devices.

I get to the "[!] Detect disks" prompt where it stats its found SATA raid devices and asks if I want to activate them so I click "Yes" and in the next window where I am to see all my devices I

I have a dedicated Intel RS2BL080 hardware RAID card installed on my ASUS ROG Maximus V Extreme motherboard and I'm having difficulties booting into the RAID BIOS.

Hello,

in a nutshell, there's a motherboard with integrated RAID support, and I've been trying to create a RAID 0 with two 500GB disks - did this with the BIOS utility, and it seemed to be successful, but SUSE 11.2 doesn't see it as one 1TB disk, only as two 500GB.

Is there something I'm missing?

Thanks in advance.
