Hi Glenn,
Openfiler will not work with software RAID controllers with RAID sets
configured at the BIOS level. Please disable software RAID in the BIOS
and just use the web interface to create as many RAID configurations as
you desire.
One thing you must do at the very outset after installing Openfiler is
to remove the dmraid package so that it does not try to activate any
software RAID volumes that you might have configured. Login as root and do:
rpm -e dmraid
Cheerio,
Rafiu.

Hi Rafiu,
Thanks for that. You may not know the answer to this but does this mean that
if I configure the raid settings in the bios for RAID 0 and the drivers on
Openfiler work properly that the drives should appear as one large drive in
the the disk partitioning section of the install?
I ask because even though everything to do with the raid config is set in
the bios and the drives appear as a single striped drive there they still
appear as two separate drives in Disk Druid.
The option to software raid them is there but if the drivers are loaded
properly shouldn't they already appear as a raid and therefore as a single
drive?
Hi Glenn,
According to the DFI website, that board has two SATA chipsets: nForce4
and Silicon Image.
The Silicon Image should be supported by Openfiler 1.1.
Both Silicon Image and nForce4 should be supported by Openfiler 2.0.
The respective kernel driver modules are sata_nv and sata_sil.
Cheers,
Rafiu.
