How do I get my RAID working switching from Windows 10 to Linux Mint.
Hi,
Hope everyone is doing well. I have a problem switching to Linux from Windows. My machine has an Asus m5a97 motherboard with raid built in. It works without a driver on windows 7 and 10. I have it setup as RAID 0 with 2 disks of 1TB, to form one disk of 2TB and possibly faster. I downloaded Linux Mint and booted the flash disk. When I went to install, It saw my windows drive as a single drive. But when I installed it on the SSD and got rid of windows altogether, Mint sees 2 separate drives. I panicked and restored windows 10 back. How can I fix this? Asus has no linux anything! Best to all and thanks. |
Is there any reason to use that raid0 configuration on linux? I'd turn off hardware raid and use lvm if I were you.

The only reason is that I have 1.6TB of data and would like to keep them in one volume.
I found a link "How to Configure and Test RAID 0 on Linux Mint 20" and will give that a try. It should also work for Linux Mint 21. If that doesn't work, I'll give up and use the drives without raid. Thanks for your input. |

I would suggest you really get to understand what RAID0 is - and how it differs from linear or JBOD.
Using a LVM lv over two or more disks is a much safer option. The extra complexity can be pretty much ignored after setup. |
