You've probably missed a discussion on issues I've been having with
SATA, software RAID and bad drivers. A clear thing from the responses

I've one box here that's using all six onboard ports on an Nvidia MCP55

Two ports are a RAID 1 for the OS and the other 4 have 4 x 500GB drives

Hi Lyle,
I've been doing a similar exercise here and have been looking at
portmultiplier options using the Silicon Image 3124.
The other possibility is the Marvell based 8 port "dumb" SATA controller

Hello,
I just started looking into software raid with linux a few weeks ago. I
am outgrowing the commercial NAS product that I bought a while back.
I've been learning as much as I can, suscribing to this mailing list,
reading man pages, experimenting with loopback devices setting up and

Greetings. In order to insure that a Debian stock kernel (i.e. the

All,
Hello. I don't know if this is the right place to post this issue but it

And there is much more - FAQs, recipes, etc!
Can you please add do the manual under 'SEE ALSO' a reference
