I'm trying to install CentOS 5.4 on a machine with a LSI SAS 1068E controller. I've googled all over the place and found a few different drivers for RHEL5 for it.. and tried a few of them.. Some will load, some complain that this isn't the correct version.. non of them work when it comes to sh

Great, which driver did you use and where can I get it... and was this for a 32bit or 64bit CentOS install? Thanks, Billy Steve Thompson wrote: On Fri, 27 Nov 2009, John R Pierce wrote: I'm not familiar with that exact LSI chip, but most every LSI Logic Fusion-MPT controller I've seen yet

Hmm.. I can't do RAID 5 because that would require the iButton68 (per http://www.supermicro.com/products/system/1U/6015/SYS-6015V-M3.cfm) However, this has me completely stumped. I'll try JBOD and see what that does. Thanks, Billy Steve Thompson wrote: On Fri, 27 Nov 2009, Tait Clarridge wr

From what I can tell from reading, it is a software RAID and putting it in IT mode makes it work as a JBOD. I'm not understanding how to do RAID 10 with it in IT mode. Thanks, Billy Larry Brigman wrote: On Fri, Nov 27, 2009 at 2:35 PM, Billy Huddleston wrote: I'm trying to ins
