I know. My intent was not to "cross" you, but I just wanted to let him know that the link was only going to confuse him.
If it was another, intelligent hardware RAID solution, then that link would have been viable. All he needed was to get the driver.
But I've only seen a few FRAID attempts and they are much more involved than a SCSI module. Or the vendor only releases a kernel version-specific module.
---- of course you are assuming facts not in evidence.
If for example, he was trying to dual-boot with Windows and Windows had already set the drives up as fake raid...then he would probably have to work it through in this way to use a partition on the existing raid setup in some manner - and then my links may have been helpful.
I of course wouldn't know this - I only have one system as dual-boot - my ancient Sony PictureBook laptop and am generally not a fan of dual- boot systems.
