As per http://www.intel.com/design/chipsets/embedded/6300esb.htm , this controller is an ICH, and as per http://216.239.59.104/search?q=cache:Ia3sLT8WW1YJ:linux.yyz.us/sata/faq-sata-raid.html this is not a real Hardware RAID. Hence, even IF your linux will support it, it's RAID implemented by the driver itself, using the CPU (as opposed to RAID where your linux just reads and writes from the controller and the controller doing the real "thing"). Therefore, even if you do get this to work, it won't be any better than doing software-RAID using the native kernel feature, which is what you should do in my opinion... -- shimi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
