Can a Dell PERC S110 software RAID be ignored under Linux?

  • 772

I would like to use the Dell PowerEdge R520's on-board 6-port SATA controller which allows up to 4 SATA drives, however the configurator requires you to enable the S110 software RAID for that, which is Windows-only. Does that mean that Linux won't be able to see drives?

I want to use LVM so all that would require is that the drives are individually visible.

    Summarized it means that you can disable the RAID functionality in the BIOS and create the Software Raid in Linux. Windows only means that you don´t have to configure any RAID in Windows.
