If it's a SmartArray 5xxx then the 'ciss' driver is the one you want: ciss0: <Compaq Smart Array 5300> port ... [...] da0 at ciss0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 da0: <COMPAQ RAID 5 VOLUME OK> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-0 device=20 da0: 135.168MB/s transfers da0: 105008MB (215056800 512 byte sectors: 255H 32S/T 26355C) This is a real hardware RAID card, and it presents the array to the system as a regular SCSI disk (da0 above). Just define your array from the card's BIOS and make sure you are running a kernel that has 'ciss' enabled (GENERIC has it by default). /Daniel Eriksson
