Subject: [gentoo-user] Problems with Nvidia fake raid array
Date: Mon, 18 Jul 2011 21:26:14 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1311038774.7499.11.camel@laptop.limeyworld> (raw)
Hi all,
After cleaning off my Opensuse O.S. and installing Gentoo, I'm having
trouble getting my 3-disk nvidia SATA raid5 array back on line.
The gentoo OS is on a separate non-raid IDE disk, and I can see the
three individual disks which make up the raid array (/dev/sda, /dev/sdb
and /dev/sdc). Unfortunately, the system does not seem to be able to
detect the raid array, and dmesg shows no md disks detected or mounted.
There are a few guides on line for setting up a system which boots to a
raid array, but I haven't found any guides for simply mounting a raided
disk. I think I've got all the kernel settings right, and the raid
array was working before I cleared out the IDE disk. I know that the
Nvidia array isn't a true hardware raid array, but it's a data disk
only, and while I have a reasonably recent backup, I'm not keen on
re-formatting it and setting up a kernel-based raid array.
Any suggestions or pointers gratefully received. Thanks in advance.
Jeff
