[help] [scsi] raidutils with Adaptec 2400A on FC3

[Neil Marjoram]

Angelo,

I've got some bad news for you. I have 2 2400A cards, neither of which 
work with raidutils, it's because of the device assignment. Prior to 
kernel 2.6 the kernel used different drivers for the card (dpt), 
(raidutils didn't work then either, but that was something else) the new 
i2o  device is in /dev/i2o/.... Raidutils is trying to open the old 
device assignment and thus fails. I don't realy understand why - the new 
utils on i2o site should be for the new i2o device drivers, I had no 
luck figuring this out, or with the developers of i2o. I notice a new 
Fedora page on the site - that doesn't really help much! I don't think 
this is specific to Fedora, but I assume someone somewhere has it working!

Let me know if you find an answer.

The Raid Apps on the Adaptec boot disk are good - on Linux too, but this 
doesn't help a live environment that you don't want to shutdown and boot 
from that disk.

Neil.
