I have an HP server with on-board RAID, ie it takes two drives and presents them to the O/S as a single drive, but the management of that drive utilises the main CPU not a RAID controller.
If I use it, how would I be able to detect the RAID status?
Or should I just use software RAID and mdtools?
lspci reports: 00:11.0 RAID bus controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB7x0/SB8x0/SB9x0 SATA Controller [Non-RAID5 mode] (rev 40)
If I decided to move to software RAID, what are my chances of migrating the existing install to RAID without re-installing?
