unRAID compatibility with other software raid


Recommended Posts

 

Has anyone summarized from the config file or from experience the config choices one must make or not make to sucessfully compile a In STABLE unRAID driver into a kernel?

 

I am compiling (or at least attempting to) the unRAID driver in a Ubuntu-based kernel.  I have looked at md_private.h and md_p.h which is included with the standard linux kernel source.  It appears that some of the same #define statements appear in both.  Am I to assume that values could be different between both such that when using the unRAID driver you can NOT use nor compile any other software raid  found in the kernel sources?

This is one of the caveats with the unRaid driver.

It totally replaces the md/raid subsystem of the kernel.

 

Sure would be great if it complemented it instead of replacement.

Then we could do raid0 on the parity drive and use multiple drives to increase size and/or performance.

 

So to answer your question more directly, I don;t think you can have both drivers present in the kernel without some hacking.
