Andre or anyone,
Do you happen to know where the Promise "raid" controllers store the RAID
signature? My crappy BIOS will only let me make a 2 disk array and 2x 1 disk
arrays. I really would like 4 1 disk arrays so windows and Linux see the
same data, or 1 4 disk array...
anyone?

Thanks for the pointer!
Is there any reason to use this RAID over the md RAID layer? This still
doesn't help me convince my BIOS to create a 4-disk array. It will only
create a 2 disk array..

As far as I can tell the drive array limits are wired into the bios, and
used to distinguish different product lines.
