Re: [opensuse] Installing RAID 5

I want to setup a RAID 5. I have 4 250GB drivers. One currently has
SUSE 10.2 / Xen installed.

I tried installing the RAID right off the bat, but it didn't work.
The install always died.
So I installed everything without the RAID configuration and it went
great. Now I am ready to create the RAID 5 and would like some
advise. I plan on using the RAID to store the VM files for Xen.
I tried it with an LVM and without, both failed. Could it be that I
need an updated NVIDIA driver?
No, your nvidia graphics has nothing to do with it, and the chipset
drivers (I assume you are talking about) are a part of the kernel. You
can find out some info about them by modinfo <module name>, i.e.
joe@jmorris:~> lsmod | grep nv
sata_nv 30084 0
libata 145056 1 sata_nv
joe@jmorris:~> /sbin/modinfo sata_nv

You can also get info about your hardware via /sbin/lspci and even more
info for the driver module by examining the kernel sources. HTH.
