Your RAID set is being detected by the LiveCD. It looks as though you |
48 |
have a RAID5 set using 3x72GB drives. This would be consistent with the |
49 |
size of /dev/sda (144GB). Because it's hardware RAID, operating systems |
50 |
don't usually access each individual disk but rather the disk set |
51 |
presented by the controller. |
52 |
|
53 |
As mentioned by Neil, dmraid is for software RAID management. If you |
54 |
want to manage your RAID controller or disk sets from Linux, you'll have |
55 |
to find management software capable of doing this. Try the server |
56 |
manufacture's site or the RAID manufacture's web site to see if such |
57 |
software exists. |

Hope that helps, |
