Hello Karl,
Any suggestions on the step-by-step sequence for this?
bonus/ p.s. -anyone had any experience with the Nvidia onboard RAID/ Supermicros? Did you like it, (I'm an LSI-Logic fan myself), just looking for opinions...
NVRaid is not supported as there is no NVRaid driver for Linux. NVRaid also belongs to what Linux kernel developers call 'fake-raid'. It is really just some RAID Bios coupled with a software RAID driver.
You are better off using them as individual disks and Linux software raid instead.
