有人用AMD南桥(SB700/710/750等)做RAID的吗？

坛子里有人用AMD主板板载RAID的吗？为什么创建RAID1不能保留现有数据呢？初始化的时候非要清掉？？

怪你过分美丽

百度一下，好像是这样。。

我不是小白，百度不如google...

在 forum.amd.com 上找到一篇帖子，发现好像不是我一个人遇到的问题。AMD SB600/700的南桥，做RAID1之后，Rebuild 都有问题的。我的理解是，就更别奢求将现有数据盘转换为RAID1阵列了.

如果坛子上有成功做rebuild的同学，出来指点一下。

Issue: AMD RaidXpert Service gives an Raid 1 (or 5, as reported in other forum) array "error" stating a single disk failure. One of the two drives (or may be more in your case, but if that's the case you are beyond screwed) in the Raid 1 array becomes a JBOD standalone drive, basically detached from the array for whatever reason. The drive is still listed as healthy and SMART scan does not show any issue either. It is simply "assigned as JBOD" under "Logical Drive View" in RaidXpert.

OR, you really have a dead drive, and you have inserted a new drive. But even after you have initialized it, the Rebuild tab is still greyed out.

The "reasonable" procedure, by intuition, since there is no manual, is to start RaidXpert in the browser (username and password by default are both "admin"), go to the "Logical Drive View" and do a "Rebuild". The problem is, the "Rebuild" tab is greyed out and unusable. You can only see the failed array listed as "Critical", one of the two drives (in my case) is still mounted as part of the Raid 1 array, but the other drive is now JBOD. This can also happen if the drive is new. It is simply "assigned" as a JBOD. And the "Rebuild" tab is still greyed out.

You basically cannot rebuild.

This problem has been reported on many forums and no one has provided a step-by-step solution. The AMD Help with the software is inaccurate and unhelpful.
