Knoppix Linux reads Intel ICH7R SATA Raid 0

I couldn't believe my eyes, a linux distro (Knoppix 5.1.1 DVD in debug mode) reading/mounting my 3 member HDD SATA Raid 0 (3 x 320GB Seagates w/NCQ). Shocked and amazed to say the least. The ironic part is, it didn't mount the JMicron IDE HDD (JMB363), bah!

Way to sound like a jackass. All of the Intel ICHXR chipsets rely on drivers to fully implement the RAID functionality. If you had any real experience with high level RAID controllers you'd realize that REAL RAID implementations make the array transparent to the OS. Try this with a RAID 5 array and see just how HARDWARE your array is. Jesus christ this profession is being over run with incompetent loud mouths.

Who said I am a professional? I am just a home user that has expanded his horizons past Winbloze. Yeah, I get the fact that Intel Raid controllers need drivers STUPID, that's why it was amazing Knoppix 'saw' it. Talk about loud mouth idiots! Go look in the mirror. Btw, this video is ANCIENT, duh.

No no, I booted the computer with the Knoppix CD in like a very thorough hardware discovery mode. All the result was that I could read what was on the INTEL HARDWARE RAID, not software, that what was so amazing at the time, the first distro of many I tried could actually READ the HARDWARE raid. Intel did write a Linux driver for the ICH7R southbridge some time ago and it was only for the 2.4x kernel. None since I believe. Software and hardware raids are two diff things. Software raid = fakeraid.

this is amazing I just have one question Did you have to type or do something for linux to recognize a SOFTWARE array? I've read some sites on the internet but I've come to the conclusion that you have to create the array from linux and then you loose your data. Hope you have more info or experience than me in this matter. thanks in advance.

ntfs 3g solves everything.

Linux rocks dude, of course it works!

That really is amazing! I have never seen a Knoppix based bootable CD that made it to the desktop. Having an ICH7 SATA RAID controller myself I was eager to try the latest fccu forensic CD just to see if the ICH7 was what held my systems back from booting fully. Great, they've moved to Debian Live which does not yet have ICH7 support and can't seem drive a PS2 keyboard. These bootable Linux CD's are a bad idea. All too common hardware bugs cause users to walk away with "Linux the suck!" 'tudes.

Umm, you appear to be the retard. Three (3) SATA 3Gb/s Seagates in a RAID phukkin 0 (zero) configuration (which I set up myself, tardboy) IS PHUKKIN RAID. Listen putz, you don't get read and write speeds of more than 200MB/s (yeah tard, that's megabytes per second) in Windhose IF YOU ARE NOT IN A PHUKKIN RAID, @sswipe. :-P Obviously you are NOT A REAL TECH, or your use of punctuation, caps and spelling would not be that of a pimply-faced mommy's-boy!
