Hi Jeff, a quick question about libata + sata_via V1.10 as included in the most recent kernel 2.6.11.2:
I have a MSI KT6V (MS-7021) mainboard with VIA VT-8237 Southbridge and want to connect two S-ATA hard disk drives. Both drives should run in a RAID 0 array, which is to be configured through the S-ATA RAID BIOS on the main board. Is it possible that the sata_via driver recognizes the existence of the array and treats it as one drive under LINUX? As far as I've learned, the VT-8237 is not a real hardware RAID solution and needs some software support from the OS, too. Again, is it possible to do this, or does the driver only support seperate s-ata channels, no matter what is configured in the S-ATA RAID BIOS? If the BIOS configured RAID volumes are not supported at all (any plans for the near future?) what would you recommend to do instead to provide fast and efficient RAID 0 striping for both s-ata drives (to double the r/w data rate). Are there any other limitations with the current sata_via driver concerning VT8237 with two S-ATA drives? Thank you very much for your support and the continued effort to maintain this driver.
