Re: LSI MPT Fusion (lsi 1064 chipset)

sounds like a job for my wiki page:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidDebug

post a LINK to your tar.bz2 file and hopefully one of the experts (not me) 
here will take a look at it :)

Does anyone know if this chipset falls within the fake-raid criteria

I have no evidence (yet), that this one uses different metadata
from the one being supported by dmraids LSI metadata format handler.

Did you try dmraid on it yet ?

Heinz

dmraid sees no raid disks:

#  dmraid -r
No RAID disks

but they are there:
# mpt-status  -i 2
ioc0 vol_id 2 type IM, 2 phy, 67 GB, state OPTIMAL, flags ENABLED
ioc0 phy 1 scsi_id 4 SEAGATE  ST973401LSUN72G  0556, 68 GB, state ONLINE,

ioc0 phy 0 scsi_id 3 SEAGATE  ST973401LSUN72G  0556, 68 GB, state ONLINE, 
flags NONE

Device Info
# cd /proc/mpt

# cat summary

Guess they do use different metadata?  Or does this not fall under the 
ATAraid umbrella?
