Megaraid 9271-4i

[westm003]

I started the server with knoppix, a 2GB partition is created with FAT32.... I feel the driver is not recognizing the array, please advice..

Regards,

The server sees this as the LSI 9271-4i :

RAID/SCSI controllers
Intel Corporation Patsburg 4-Port SATA Storage Control Unit (rev 06)
LSI Logic / Symbios Logic MegaRAID SAS 2208 [Thunderbolt] (rev 05)

We create the 2GB partition on install, but in order to use the rest for data, you need to create 2 logical Units on the RAID yourself first.
1- 2GB for the OS
2- The balance left over for data.

As for the BBU info, just use the option of writeback even with out BBU.
