# Adaptec AIC-7902b SCSI controller # # 2010/May/19 @ Zdenek Styblik # So it happens I've stumbled uppon this controller. If you want to use Host RAID feature like I wanted to, don't bother. Since it's proprietary feature, it's not supported by GNU/Linux [more like an end of quotation here]. I found out in one Fedora forum, I think, after looking around and wondering why do I see six drives instead of one or three (RAID1/RAID10 + two spares). Instead of Host RAID (which I recommend to disable) create nice and easy software RAID with % mdadm; For example RAID5 or RAID6 is just fine, but RAID10 will do too :) Whatever works for you. --- SNIP --- # so you don't have to partition each drive sfdisk -d /dev/sda | sfdisk /dev/sdb ... mdadm -C /dev/md0 -l 6 -n 6 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 ... mkfs.ext4 /dev/md0 --- SNIP --- Some info about controller - it's Ultra320 SCSI, it supports RAID0, RAID1 and RAID10 from four (4) drives and the rest as spares. In my case, it's connected via 64-bit 133MHz PCI-X bus.
