I'm trying to get RSV-S8 working with Citrix XenServer 5 update 3 (which I believe runs CentOS 5.something).
I have the Rosewill card that comes with it in there (sil3132 based). It's seeing the card, and seeing all my drives.
I fdisk the drives and I can create the partitions, but I am unable to set up either software raid or create filesystems. I keep getting errors saying that the volumes are in use (although they do not appear to be mounted anywhere).
# mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdc1 mke2fs 1.39 (29-May-2006) /dev/sdc1 is apparently in use by the system; will not make a filesystem here!
# mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=0 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 mdadm: Cannot open /dev/sdb1: Device or resource busy mdadm: Cannot open /dev/sdc1: Device or resource busy mdadm: create aborted
Am I doing something wrong or is it possibly an issue with the driver? I had no problems using this under windows.

I take it nobody has experience with this?

I had a similar problem with the sil3132 and a 4 drive enclosure.
I was using CentOS 5.1, at the time. Installing 5.2 with the 3132 drivers form the SiI website, resolved the raid issues.
