Today i have plugged a PCI RAID card into my computer, IT8212 chip on it, and two identical hard drives on the primary and secondary master of that controller. In the controller BIOS i defined a mirror set out of those both disks and booted linux afterwards. Loading the kernel module dmesg showed that the controller was found and that 2 harddiscs are attached to it. The thing that i wonder about is, that i still can "see" both harddisks independently, but i would expect to see only one harddisk at all, that represents the RAID set. Udev also registers /dev/hde and /dev/hdg, but (as far as i can see) no further device. Is there anything wrong about my setup? Is this i driver issue? Or is this the normal and expected behaviour and its me who doesn't "use" the module properly? How to i access the RAID set instead of the two seperate disks? Thanks in advance. Yours sincerely, Christian Haertwig
