you can do
dmraid -an
dmraid -ay
when you changed the partition scheme.

FakeRaid
Originally posted by makoto42 View PostI can't find details about dmraid and the SB600 SATA controller. <...> so 'fakeraid' may be the most realistic path to peaceful coexistance.
Currently I've tried with a couple of distro and they all give the same result :
- The SB600 raid isn't recognised, the meta data is only found on 1 of the 2 drive.
- The JMicron (aka GigaByte Sata in the bios) raid is correctly recognised, the /dev/mapper/ device for the raid array is correctly created and I have full access to the whole disk (successfully partitioned the drive, including extented partitions).
Boot when I reboot or reload the partition table, dmraid fails to create the additionnal device in /dev/mapper/ for all the partitions, so I don't have access to the individual partitions.
(i.e.: /dev/mapper/jmicron_raid is successfully created, but the creation of /dev/mapper/jmicron_raid_0, /dev/mapper/jmicron_raid_1, /dev/mapper/jmicron_raid_2, etc... fails).
Has someone had more success than me ?
I need fakeraid working for the same reasons (coexisting Windows Vista on the same Raid).

I note with interest the ECC memory support. Thanks for the mention. Thanks to Gigabyte for its implementation.

Thank you very much!
Hi,
Just a sincere thanks for reviewing the AMD 790FX chipset. I plan to pick up a Phenom in a couple of months, and am happy to read that there are no fundamental issues with Linux.

Considering the ALC883 had okay sounds in linux, im really looking forward to the Alc889a sounds experience.

Thanks for the article. I was really looking forward to it, as I'm planing to put myself together a system with the new AMD 790FX chipset. I don't need the benchmarks though, as I know that momentarily AMD's quad cores are significantly slower than Intel's (and even slower than their own dual core processors).
But what about the onboard sound? I know, there is no Dolby Digital or DTS encoding in the fly and there will never be. But is the chipset recognised by ALSA or OSS, is it working at all?
I don't know what's the situation with ATi's graphic card drivers nowadays, as I've switched to nVidia when I had to buy a new card, to save me from all the trouble I had with my old Radeon. But if the drivers are today on par with those of nVidia (especially when it comes to proper render support and all the desktop bling-bling) it would be great to grab a ATi card and put together a pure AMD system (and save a lot of money).

BIOS updates
Would be nice to see a real linux solution to BIOS updates, without having to resort to using Wine.

What about the RAID funcionality?
I'm interested in potentially dual booting a setup, and I can't find details about dmraid and the SB600 SATA controller. In pure linux configurations I never bother with that headache, opting for the controller independent software RAID, but if Windows coexists, I can't find any resources about booting Windows from a Windows software raid setup, so 'fakeraid' may be the most realistic path to peaceful coexistance.
All this presumes that the controller doesn't frontend this in a way as to make it a moot point, but my experience with AHCI chips is that they don't do anything that nice for you.
