5 Hi,
6
7 in my Server is a "SIL0680 Rev E" Raid-Controller working with two
8 HDDs mounted.
9 My kernel needet
10 > <*> Silicon Image chipset support
11 to akzept this one and find the mounted HDDs properly.
12
13 The problem is the RAID-1 Mode, the controller gives back, that the
14 Raid ist working, but my gentoo finds the two HDDs, but not the device
15 for the Raid.
16
17 But if I activate the following in the Kernel:
18 > [*] Multiple devices driver support (RAID and LVM) <*> RAID support
19 > < > Linear (append) mode < > RAID-0 (striping) mode <*> RAID-1
20 > (mirroring) mode < > RAID-4/RAID-5 mode < > RAID-6 mode <*>
21 > Multipath I/O support < > Faulty test module for MD < > Device
22 > mapper support
23
24 ls /dev gives me an "/dev/md0" back.
25
26 With /dev/md0 however I can't do anything, e.g:
27
28 > svr linux # mkfs.xfs /dev/md0 Error getting MD array info from
29 > /dev/md0
30
31 It seems, that /dev/md0 is a Node for a Software Raid, but i didn't
32 configure one. So why is ist created by udev, when no software-raid is
33 defined?
34 If /dev/md0 is a node for the hardware-raid of the controller, then
35 why can't I use it?
36
37 Anyone got this controller to work properly?
38
39 thx ahead...
