Hi all
Don't know if this is technically a Linux question or not but here goes...
Over the weekend I had to install an Adaptec scsi card and 2 70 gig drives
in an external enclosure in a Compaq ml-350.
the physical install went fine and I built a raid 1 array without problems
but the new controller card then decided it was id 00 and that it just had
to boot from this controller instead of the existing Compaq Adaptec
controller that contains the operating system on another exiting array.
I got round this by turning off the bios on the new controller. It still saw
the drives etc at boot time and then booted off of the existing array into
redhat 7.2.
My problem is (apart from being out of my depth :) that I expected the new
array to appear as something like /dev/sda1 and then I could fdisk, mkfs
etc. Well I cant find the new array - where do I look?
do I need to install a driver for the scsci card?
Any suggestions appreciated..
cheers
Mark
if I cat proc/partitions I get the existing Compaq array stuff....
