Well they included the GPL license in the archive of their shim driver source. GPL, C files to compile, Library file to be included in the compile. Seems to be the vendor and the Linux community are both being stubborn about the situation. >Anyway, The MegaRAID ATA133 I saw was software raid only and the actual >controllers could be used with the kernel piix driver. Yes, it is a software RAID device driver, utility, etc... Yes it comes up as a standard IDE controller but it does not see the mirror configured by the BIOS on the controller w/o the LSI driver, thus only writes to one of the two physical drives. Why mirror at the higher level if the mass storage controller driver can do the work and make the file system drivers think they are talking to a simple disk drive?
