 Posted: Fri Apr 22, 2005 2:46 pm Post subject: RAID 5 and 3 SATA discs |
 |
|
I have MB ASUS A8N SLI DELUX, AMD64 and silicon image controler and nforce controler. I want to make RAID 5 on discs, no on partiton. A need to functional system also when one drive will be destroyed.
Is in LIVE CD some tool? And how install loader?
Thanks |

This is the way Windows does software RAID. Linux does software RAID using partitions.
You could also buy a hardware RAID controller, and do RAID5 using whole disks. This would work with Windows or Linux (or both). |

I tried software RAID with mdadm but when i install GRUB to MBR of SATA disk, this do nothing and i hade to press ctrl+c. I wrote this
| Code: |
grub> device (hd0) /dev/sda
grub>
grub> setup (hd0) ( and this is end. )
|
where is problem? How i can install loader? |

As far as I know, this is also a software RAID controller using the HPT374 chip.

It should work fine using the kernel's HPT37x driver (located in the IDE controller section). |
