Topic: beta 0.3.3 RAID Issues

beta fails to detect the rain array I have running. It's a highpoint card running r5. It lists the disk i want to copy the raid partitions to, but does not list the array, just the 4 disks that make it up. Is there anything I can do, maybe load the drivers for the array?

BTW, this app is a godsend! Exactly what was needed..... Thanks!

Re: beta 0.3.3 RAID Issues

Well, could you tell me the exact description of your card, and may the name of the driver used within linux to load it ?
You also can try to run SLAX and install on it GParted wink

But i prefer that you tell me the hardware you exactly need, so i can add to rou livecd !

So, please, could you give me those infos ?
your card : model, number, builder
the driver

thx

Could you try to give the real linux modules that supports this device ?
Thsi link seems to point to biuos not kernel !

Re: beta 0.3.3 RAID Issues

Larry,

The 5th block down, right after the raid management utility, are all the linux drivers. There are quite a few listed so I'm sure what you need is there.

Re: beta 0.3.3 RAID Issues

Yes, cris, i am sorry about that : i see all what i could need.
But unfortunatly when searching rocket in kernel config i only get something different as rocketraid 1820, so i dont really know how to fix this !...
Still trying anyway smile

Re: beta 0.3.3 RAID Issues

I'm not sure what is causing this. I directly pluged in a ps/2 keyboard so there should be no error, altho there is also a usb keyboard/mouse plugged into it that leads to a KVM switch. Maybe that's the source.

Re: beta 0.3.3 RAID Issues

yeah it could be : could you please remove all not needed to make a "real" test ?
thx !
