Re: Fasttrak problem
On Sarge, I needed to do (24)
modprobe pdcraid
on 2nd console in order to get the ataraid device listed when
partitioning, but then I was not able to install grub or, even if
installed, I was not able to reboot (error 21)
For 2.6, it seems that d-i has not "hardware" raid support at all
I finally changed the jumper on board to switch off the raid feature,
then made a software raid. It worked, is more flexible (I have now / as
raid1 and my /gisdata as raid0) and I can't see any difference about
performance.
cheers,
Roman
