One of them was installed a while ago with Fedora Core 5 (kernel 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5smp) and whoever installed it was able to turn on hardware RAID. The other was installed with CentOS 4.4 (kernel 2.6.9-42.0.8.ELsmp) by myself. I tried many different things, but I couldn't activate RAID. The installer was always seeing two separate drives instead of one RAID volume. Is this caused by the sata_sil driver? Is the version used by CentOS too old to support RAID? BTW, on Fedora 5, how do I monitor the status of the RAID arrays? There doesn't seem to be anything in /proc to provide that info. Thanks, -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/
