Subject: Access to harddisks spread acrross multiple controllers.
Date: Sun, 03 May 2009 22:20:52 +1200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1241346052.4862.43.camel@ezra> (raw)

Hi,

I've been discussing the merits, potential implementations and failure
modes of booting from raid 4|5|6 volumes. One of the big complaints is
that bootloaders are limited when using int13h to accessing harddisks
plugged into the controller booting from, making it impossible to
assemble raid 4|5|6 array in this case.

I want to know if this is a limitation imposed on grub2, or is it smart
enough to access the disks on all controllers on the host.
