Re: "Best" RAID 1 configuration for linux

Hello,

Right now i have an Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe (Rev 1012) with 2 S-ATA disks.
I've setup the RAID 1 in the BIOS, but the raid is not detected under
Mandriva 2006.0.

Have you any recommendations for a new hardware under linux ? One which
is detected and works well?

Don't bother - use the software raid feature (MD) under linux.

The on board stuff is usually half-arsed and I've never been very happy with
any I've tried to use.

Cheers
