??? Hardware Raid ???
This Controler is not a real Hardware RAID.
For that use a 2-Channel 3Ware Controller.
My partner got this as a RAID Solution from a local vendor together
with Hot Swap Chassis for the Harddisks.
So, my problem is, who do I get the system booting from
the IDE RAID.
With a Bootfloppy ;-))
It is possible to boot from the IDE RAID Array
I did the following:
- installed an additional IDE harddisk
- installed debian on this disk.
- built the kernel from source
- built the FastTrak.o kernel module driver from source
- built the kernel module driver for NIC from source (which also
was not recognised)
- put the two modules on a floppy
- uninstalled additional ide
- booted from CD to install debian and loaded the two modules
with the installer. The IDE Array was recognised as /dev/sda
- created parttions and so on.
- it works
what is still is something that would send an email if
one of the drive fails.
Thank you for the reply, Unfortunatly I didn't have enough time
to write a documentation about it and put it in the web.
