I have a Asus M2NPV-VM motherboard which supports hardware RAID. I have installed Fedora 7 on the first SATA hard disk (sda). Now I have added two more identical SATA hard disks and configured them as mirrored RAID in BIOS.
Is it really raid or is it fakeraid? Many of these mother-boards which come with inbuilt raid are not really raid. They are fake raid which require support from a software driver. In such a case disable the raid in the BIOS and use mdadm to do software raid which is anyday better than fakeraid.
Also., what RAID card is this? A lspci should tell you.
