If you mean a normal IDE device on the ide 0 and 1 channels along with a RAID device on the RAID controller, then yes. If you mean a normal IDE partition along with a RAID partition on the RAID controller, then no. Once you put a harddrive on the RAID channel, for striping, both hard drives have to be the same size and you must create identical striped partitions. As far as I know, you can't split normal IDE partitions with striped partitions on a single channel. I am pretty sure that you can use one RAID channel, say ide 2 as a RAID device while the other channel, ide 3 is a normal ide channel though. Just don't stripe the sdc and sdd volumes and don't try to access them through the scsi device files. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer
