<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Yesterday, I did a 10 minutes check with a live CD
(</FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ubuntu 8.0.4).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I looked around the file system and couldn't find
the raid disk.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I need to repeat the test with live CD (maybe
8.10) this time) and see what `mount` will report and what hardware is
found.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Shahar hi,<BR><BR>How about just popping in a recent livecd and checking
it out?<BR>From my recent kernel compiling experiences i saw that the latest
kernels come with a LOT of extensions (to include in the kernel or as modules)
for handling a wide variety of controllers.<BR>Also, is this a dedicated
controller (pci/pci-e) or built in to the motherboard?<BR><FONT

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I want to convert a file server based on a
Windows machine to Linux (Ubuntu)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Currently my file server contains raid 5 disk
array with StLab A-224 (SiI3114 SATA chip) controller.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In the user manual of the Raid controller, the
supported operating systems are Windows only.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I failed to find any hints in
Google.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is there a way to use my current hardware under
Linux?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Will I have to buy a new
controller?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Shell I use software raid?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks in advanced</FONT></DIV>
