First I've heard of it. Can you find docs for it? If so, post a link to them, and we'll have a look to see what is different from the 60xx series.

I would be willing to bet that it's either GEN-IIE or something that sata_mv doesn't cover at all (like AHCI). Jeff ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

Yeah, could be. Except I'd expect a more major change in their numbering scheme for that, but, hey, who can predict what the marketing folks would do! The motherboard description says something about it being Marvell's latest chipset, with four SATA plus one PATA ports. That'll be interesting..

That'll be interesting.. Yup, I can confirm this. The Marvell chip appears to control 4 SATA + 1 IDE connector. Just to make things even weirder, there's also an Intel ICH7R chip on the motherboard which controls a separate set of 4 SATA + 1 IDE connector. At first I thought that only the Marvell SATA ports could be used for a RAID (based on how they're labeled in the manual), but now I see that either set of SATA ports can be used for RAID. So I may be able to set my RAID up using the ICH7R based ports until the Marvell chip is supported. Am I correct to believe that the Intel ICH7R chip is supported in 2.6.16?

Neither are hardware RAID. It's usually better to just use OS RAID. Jeff ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
