RE: Debian[etch] on Intel S5000VSASAS raid problem

["REED YOUNG" <reed_young@msn.com>]

My limited understanding of *software* RAID in Linux (not just Debian) is 
that what you are experiencing is normal.  Linux implements its own software 
RAID capabilities, which do not require (or allow) use of the RAID settings 
in the controller's BIOS.  Sorry, but I have also read that Linux does a 
fine (or better!) job with its own software RAID.
