RAID question

[reggler]

Hi There,

I just got two 1TB disks and i would like to setup a RAID 1 system.
Now, my PC (Acer ASE700-EQ661A) features an on board raid controller where I have configured a RAID 1 array with my two new disks. Now I
booted Kubuntu, opened QtParted, expecting to see two disks (the original one plus the new array showing up as sdX). But I see three
disks, that is my original and the two new disks. Why is that? Where did my raid array go? Also when I boot from 9.04 alternate installation
disk, I get offered to activate my SATA RAID array? How do I activate this driver on an existing installation?
Thanks,
Ron

Re: RAID question

Well alright, no drivers available but why does the Kubuntu alternate CD recognize it then? It appears as a single disc to install in the setup wizard - how come How can I get this going on my current install?

Thanks,
Ron

I haven't tried it myself, so I'm semi-guessing here ...

Probably it IS seeing a single disk, and that's exactly what will be installed on.

It is seeing a single RAID disk - it first asks if the RAID drivers should be turned on now and then it shows me two disks, one that's running my current system and the other one says RAID in the description rather than anything from Seagate...
