I purchased an Intel D945GNT motherboard and it comes in the BIOS with an option to create a RAID 0 or RAID 1 volumes using my existing two SATA disks. However when installing Centos 4.3 x86_64 I see the the installer recognices the two drives and does not "see" the RAID 0. Is that ok? Should I disable the RAID in the BIOS and then go for a LVM+RAID 0 setup in the installer ? Since it will be a server machine I want to gain the performance of RAID 0 without too much complications (i will use ext3 instead of ReiseFS)
Thanks,
Erick,
I ran into the same problem with my Dell system that had onboard SATA raid. I couldn't get it to work without seeing both SATA drives as individual drives. What I did instead was to use a 3Ware card to mirror the drives. I'm just not a big fan of SW raid, so I go hardware when I can. So far, all I have is the basic CentOS installed, this is my first time using CentOS since RH 7.3 days.
