I am not sure you can get NVRaid driver for Linux. &nbsp;But if you use Promise, there are drivers for Linux. &nbsp;The instructions here: <a href="http://www.linux.com/howtos/ATA-RAID-HOWTO/preparation.shtml" rel="ugc">http://www.linux.com/howtos/ATA-RAID-HOWTO/preparation.shtml</a>

I have a promise sx4310 card also. &nbsp;How do I get a raid 5 to work AFTER linux is installed?<br />
<br />
Also the file you recommended is for Redhat only through version 7.2 only. &nbsp;I will use that ONLY if I have to.

I am trying to setup ubuntu on my computer that has an Asus M2N-E. &nbsp;I've set three 500 gig hard drives as a raid 5 using the nvraid on the motherboard.<br />
<br />
During the install it scans the bus and finds the nvraid controller but doesn't see that I've setup the three drives in a raid 5 configuration. &nbsp;It displays a list<br />
<br />
sda 500.1 GB<br />
sdb 500.1 GB<br />
sdc 500.1 GB<br />
<br />
Is there any linux distro that will see my raid configuration?<br />
I've also tried the promoise sx4310 card and it does the same thing. &nbsp;Promise doesn't have drivers for their card except suse 9 and redhat. &nbsp;Neither of which I like very well. &nbsp;I could try suse 10.1 but I would like to get ubuntu or fedora core 6 working.<br />
<br />
Thanks...

nvraid in ubuntu

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).

Linux Distributions

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
