Hi all, After cleaning off my Opensuse O.S. and installing Gentoo, I'm having trouble getting my 3-disk nvidia SATA raid5 array back on line.
The gentoo OS is on a separate non-raid IDE disk, and I can see the three individual disks which make up the raid array (/dev/sda, /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc). Unfortunately, the system does not seem to be able to detect the raid array, and dmesg shows no md disks detected or mounted. There are a few guides on line for setting up a system which boots to a raid array, but I haven't found any guides for simply mounting a raided disk. I think I've got all the kernel settings right, and the raid array was working before I cleared out the IDE disk. I know that the Nvidia array isn't a true hardware raid array, but it's a data disk only, and while I have a reasonably recent backup, I'm not keen on re-formatting it and setting up a kernel-based raid array. Any suggestions or pointers gratefully received. Thanks in advance. Jeff
