Greetings!
I need a new desktop, I want to dual-boot linux and windows. I'd like
a raid1 protection, and I need to be able to access windows ntfs from
Linux.
Reading through forums on-line, I can see a lot of people complaining
about broken/nonexistent support for sata2 raid (aka fakeraid, pseudo-
raid, semi-software raid, $#1T-raid, etc).
Also a lot of complaints for hardware probing timeouts during boot.
I am particularly interested to know if the latest Linux kernels (say
2.6.20) have got support for such fake-raid SATA2 raid controllers as
Jmicron and Intel ICH8R.
Unfortunately, the system not being a Linux-only, I can't run software
raid.
I'd really appreciate some info on the subject, I need a new desktop,
but any mobo produced in this century will have sata controllers which
I want to make sure won't be a problem before I buy.
Thanks in advance.
