I remember having problems with Dell RAID controllers which were related |
| 45 |
to the kernel-version. |
| 46 |
The driver was offering both harddisks in the raid as devices, and |
| 47 |
offering the RAID-device as the same device. |
| 48 |
This confused the heck out of us at first as well.... |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
Upgrading the kernel to >2.6.16 pulled in a newer driver and this solved |
| 51 |
our problem. |
