Hello all,
I have to install a raid machine under linux.
I'd like to install the gentoo distribution 1.4rc1 or RedHat 8.0
The ide raid controler is Promise 20276 and it seems it does not work
under Linux.
Can someone tell me if there are solutions for this controller with any
of the two distributions above. Maybe some module or kernel
parameters...??
I've already looked on google and I've found something for RH7.2.
If there is no way to get this controller working, wich ide raid
controller do you recommend?
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks for advance
Benoit

Promise does not work with Linux as far as I know. I bought a Dragon board w/
on-board promise raid which I could never get working. You can do a software raid
like so.
-bash-2.05b$ cat /etc/raidtab
raiddev /dev/md2
raid-level 1
nr-raid-disks 2
chunk-size 64k
persistent-superblock 1
nr-spare-disks 0
device /dev/hda7

device /dev/hdd7
raid-disk 1
raiddev /dev/md3
