Re: Configuring a Raid

Bob,

You can probably access the raid controller setup at boot.  That is where
you'd configure how the drives are used.

      The raid controller kicks in at startup.

Do you want to bypass the RAID capabilities of the controller card?

Seems to me that should be pretty easy ... if RAID isn't configured, the
individual drives should just show up independently.

This, of course, depends on the raid controller.
