Hi,

Does this means that I can't use Hardware Raid 5 on linux (redhat 6.2) or this
means that I can't use Raid 5 on linux ????? (I have a adaptec aaa7869) Can I
use raid 5 on linux made by software ???
 

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.
