Does this mean you have multiple computers all identical, all with this controller, all dual booting Windows and Linux? This is a strange setup. Why do you do this? > Have I configure the Raid Controller wrong, or is this Controller bro= ken, or=20 > have Grun2-efi Problem with this Controller .... Would you find it surprising that LSI never considered this $600 Enterprise 8 port RAID controller would be used in a dual boot workstation role, with 4 SSDs in two RAID1 sets? My guess is that this is a Grub2 issue and it's having trouble seeing both disk devices as enumerated by the UEFI implementation. What happens when you create a 4 SSD RAID10 and partition the resulting single disk device into two equal halves, one partition for SuSE and on= e for Windows? With everything on one disk device this should work much more reliably. --=20 Stan -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" i= n the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
