Second drive showing up in FC2 despite using RAID 0

[vinnieb]

I just got a new PC and had them install Fedora Core 2 on a box with two 120 GB drives with RAID 0 configuration. At the BIOS level, the drives appear to be RAID'ed successfully. However, when I look at the hard drive configuration from within Fedora Core, I see both drives! Shouldn't I be allowed to see just one at the OS level? Are there known issues with RAID controllers and FC2? Anyone have similar experiences?

I'm probably going to download and install using FC3 since it's a new machine and I might as well get the latest version right away. But I want to know if there's any known incompatibility.

THANKS!!

Hi Vinnieb,

I had a similar problem with FC2 and to be honest ended up giving up on the raid front. If you're not dual booting I'd guess doing Linux soft RAID would be simpler and have little performance issues as most onboard RAID chipsets are basically software based anyway.

Let me know if you have any luck sorting the RAID though, as I may well have another crack at it if you have better luck than I did.
