Is there any reason to use this RAID over the md RAID layer? This still doesn't help me convince my BIOS to create a 4-disk array. It will only create a 2 disk array..

As far as I can tell the drive array limits are wired into the bios, and used to distinguish different product lines. Alan ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
