Hi,
i have server with two areca raid controllers.
First have 15 HDDs, no raid. It´s ok, it´s running 15hdd. no problem.
Second have 2x 1TB HDD and 8x 750GB HDD.
2x 1TB is added as Pass Through - no raid. Its ok, its running in
system, mount, format, create filesystem, all is ok.
On 8x 750GB HDD i create a array (RAID5, 7+1 HDDs).

Areca create RAID OK, but i didn´t view RAID in system (debian etch).
When i run fdisk -l, i see all HDDs (15 HDDs on first areca and 2 HDDs
on second areca), but i didn´t see RAID.

Where is problem?

My bet, it's not a real (hardware) RAID controller.
You need drivers to see the faked RAID volumes.

You'd better use sowftware RAID with that controller.

If it's a real harware RAID controller, there is perhaps no driver for the
moment.
The chipset is Intel IOP348, I have not found a proof of support (I mean
RAID).
