Hi *,
Doing some experiments on a Dell Precision 380 with ICH7 (Intel
MatrixRAID) SATA RAID controller. There are three 160 Gb SATA disks
in the machine.
In the BIOS, I configured two RAID volumes:
* one mirror (RAID1) with a capacity of 110 Gb, involving the
first two disks (leaving 50 Gb of free space on each disk);
* one striped (RAID0) using the remainder of the space of each
of the first two disks.
(the 3rd disk is completely outside of the RAID system).
When booting up, I see the three physical disks as ad4, ad6, and ad8,
buth only the first RAID volume as ar0 (with a disk size that looks like
the expected 110 Gb) - I do not see any ar1 striped volume.
Is this a bug? A known limitation? Anything specific I need to set up?
Thanks!
Thomas.
