Thanks ITR for your answer.

I think Open-E DSS V6 cannot be booted on Linux Software RAID because the installer seems not to support this feature and the boot partition is FAT32 formated. (/dev/md0 with FAT32 ???).

My big problem is that DSS Open-E v6 seems not to support Intel ESRT2 Embedded RAID controller on Intel S5000 server boards serie.

When I configure a RAID-1 (mirror) with these board, the installer detects /dev/sda and /dev/sdb so the two HDD's not only one.

Does anybody has any experience on these Intel motherboards and Open-E DSS v6 ?

Regards,

Ciao.
