Hi all,
I managed to compile the rr174x.o module for my RAID card, so far so good,
I've now got an issue with formatting the raid (I'm sure this is due to me
being a complete n00b).
Long story short I'm trying to build up a very simple NAS based off a
bering-uclibc install on a bootable USB stick.
I'm planning on using samba but haven't quite gotten that far just yet.
I compiled the RocketRAID module and insmod'd it. That worked a treat, the
drives spun up and started to build in the background the RAID5 array.
cat /proc/scsi/rr174x/1
RocketRAID 174x controller driver v1.03 (Dec 4 2007 16:15:45)

1/2/1 SAMSUNG HD501LJ
1/3/1 SAMSUNG HD501LJ
(I have 3x500GB SATA's in this setup)
The issue is formatting the RAID,
I just assumed I would fdisk /dev/sdb and create a single primary partition
of type linux, then mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1 and then just mount it, so I tried
that and this is where things went a little south.
fdisk /dev/sdb
p
shows
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 1 121583 976615416 83 Linux
I rmmod rr174x and then insmod rr174x again and this the log output

I kinda didn't expect that.... I figured it would just have one big
partition, I don't know if that's because the raid is still building in the
background or not..
If I try and mount the newly formatted partition
nas# mount /dev/sdb1 /storage
mount: Mounting /dev/sdb1 on /mnt failed: Invalid argument
tail /var/syslog
Dec 5 15:07:52 nas kernel: FAT: bogus logical sector size 65025
So I'm I'm totally lost, does anyone have any ideas?
Cheers

Help :(
Could someone please build up this
http://www.highpoint-tech.com/BIOS_Driver/rr1740/Linux/rr174x-linux-src-v1.0
3-082307-0910.tar.gz
For Bering-uClibc_3.0.2 I'm yet to sort a build environment if anyone could
do it and send through the module and any other files needed to go with the
module it would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
