Promise Fast Track sata and raid 1

[_alex911]

http://www.promise.com/product/product_detail_eng.asp?productId=107&familyId=2

That is the product. I have two 160GB sata seagates that I need to setup for raid one as a file server for a friend.

How would I do this? I have fedora core 1 and should be updated tomorrow. It shows as scsi device c i think. No other scsi devices.

I can not fdisk/format says i cannot access or something. Would I be best updating to kernal 2.6 or what?

Thank you.







errr the drivers they have on their site won't setup how they say, gives a bunch of errors then stops.

These disk would be under something like /dev/sda and /dev/sda1 if you do:

fdisk /dev/sda

You should see something.

Also dmesg will help tell you want it was mounted as. And cdrecord -scanbus

[_alex911]

Here is the output when I tried your commands. it is /dev/sdc....

So any other suggestions?

I still need help man.

Sorry for the slow reply. I lost the e-mails telling me you had replied.

Can you issue a lspci for me to check the PCI Card was detected correctly. It's doesn't lok like it in your dmesg output.

[ghenry]

After further research, it seems you will need to do a bit pf work to get this working. I searched google for you and found this guide:

http://www.jrcormier.com/linux/fedorasata.php

It appears you need to install the driver by hand. It's available on the promise website
