Re: Problem with drives "tagged as part of hardware RAID array"

Hi :)
Sorry if I haven't been clear enough. The problem is not with getting
the SX4000 to work under Linux - I use that card on another computer
(and someone was kind enough to compile the SX4000 2.6 compatible
drivers to make a Fedora Core 4 driver disk, so it's working (sort of)
okay here). This particular SUSE server will be running software RAID,
and the SX4000 is not in this particular box. The trouble is that four
of the five drives to make this RAID array USED to be under the
SX4000's control. And while being there, the SX4000 "tagged" the drives
- or something like that - which is what the SUSE installer sees and
complains about... So, the "tags" or whatever they are are on the disks
themselves, not the card (although that probably is the case too, just
not in this case). I'm currently trying to install to a small partition
first, then creating a software RAID-5 volume, see if that works, but
i'm not very optimistic. Also, I was hoping to be able to mount / on
the RAID volume, and just /boot on a non-RAID partition, but now I have
to make a 4+ gig non-RAID partition :/
Cheers,
Daniel
