Hello All,
 

I got the Raid-HowTo and I followed it as it says. The howto says that I can make raid5
via software using mkraid and other tools. I could make the raid but when I boot even
when I mark the devices as fd my RedHat instalation only recognize devices as Raid000,
Raid001 and Raid002 with 1Mb of free space. I know now that I can't make a raid device
as Hardware raid but can I do it with software raid ?? Can I do this at a RH 6.2 Instalation ??

Thank's again,

Adaptec does not have any hardware RAID cards (at least none that are called
   adaptec cards).  The AAA133 (and the rest of the AAA series) are SCSI cards
   that come with RAID software drivers for NT and Netware, maybe for a few
   other OSs, not for Linux.  RAID features are not supported on Linux, and I'm
   somewhat surprised that you even got it to be recognized as a SCSI
   controller.  Adaptec has said that they don't want this card to be supported
   under Linux, and have refused to release the information needed to make good
   drivers for it.  Anyway, if you want to use this card, get NT or Netware.
   If you want a hardware RAID card, look elsewhere.  Perhaps Mylex or DPT.
