Obviously the PERC is set up with a RAID1 on the two 73GB disks and a RAID5 on the four 146GB disks. This is hardware RAID. You don't need to see the individual disks in Linux; the PERC is managing them for you and giving you logical disks to work with. If you want to change the hardware RAID config, go into the PERC BIOS during boot (watch for the prompt). If you really want to see the individual disks in Linux for some reason, you can delete the two logical disks and configure each disk as its own RAID0. _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list Linux-PowerEdge@dell.com https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge Please read the FAQ at http://lists.us.dell.com/faq
