Will Linux ever add support for new Intel storage controllers in RAID mode?

Hi, It's been quite a while now and haven't seen anything about Linux adding support for these new Intel controllers in RAID mode. Nothing shows at all unless the controller is changed to AHCI mode. The manufactures are typically selling their systems with that controller in RAID mode having

Re: What populates /proc/partitions ?

the "hidden" attribute to 1 then it looks like /proc/partitions won't list it (already "removable"attribute), but udev doesn't seem to allow changing the attributes, only referencing them. unless I'm missing something? On Mon, Sep 30, 2019 at 5:13 PM David F. wrote: > > Thanks f

Re: What populates /proc/partitions ?

output, it's close to the same, the message log (busybox) not much in there to say what's up. I even tried the old .rules that were being used with the old udev version, but made no difference. On Mon, Sep 30, 2019 at 4:49 PM Randy Dunlap wrote: > > On 9/30/19 3:47 PM, David F. wrote:

Hi, I want to find out why fd0 is being added to /proc/partitions and stop that for my build. I've searched "/proc/partitions" and "partitions", not finding anything that matters. If udev is doing it, what function is it call so I can search on that? TIA!!

Why does /proc/partitions have sr0 and fd0 in it?

Hi, I was updating some tools such as udev, mdadm, lvm, and came across a hang and messages about unable to read fd0 which wasn't occurring with the old tools, but using same kernel. So I've found that in the old version the /proc/partitions didn't have fd0 whereas now it does. But both have

Re: When will Linux support M2 on RAID ?

Very possible it affects other devices attached, but all consumer reports and test systems here all have NVME drives on m2 and when in RAID mode. Listing PCI data linux will show Intel SATA controller detected in RAID mode, but no drives detected, all you get is your /dev/sda USB boot device. A

When will Linux support M2 on RAID ?

More and more systems are coming with M2 on RAID and Linux doesn't work unless you change the system out of RAID mode. This is becoming more and more of a problem. What is the status of Linux support for the new systems? TIA!!

NVME M2 devices on RAID configured controllers

More and more system are coming with M2 devices on RAID configured controllers which Linux does not support. Switching to AHCI mode instead of RAID mode allows it to see the drives but that is not a fix when you want it in RAID mode and want to use Windows as well. The question I have is this

Frankly if XFS is going to change and break, now would be a good time to convert from MSBF to LSBF, easy to do and would be much more efficient on PC's. On Sat, Feb 13, 2016 at 6:50 AM, Arnd Bergmann wrote: > On Saturday 13 February 2016 13:18:32 Dave Chinner wrote: >> On Fri, Feb 12, 2016 at

Allowing external modules to run across more configs and distros

While creating a linux module that should be usable across a wide array of linux versions and builds, I've run into struct modules (THIS_MODULE) being a problem. It's the only internal struct accessed as a requirement to struct block_device_operations .owner. It's a bit annoying for this module
