Same issues here in Paris. 8-)) HPT370 on PCI card, Maxtor 40Gb hard drives... _Impossible_ to disklabel the disks (which are easilly disklabelled through the integrated IDE controler of the motherboard). The two HPT370 cards we bought (for the 4 Maxtor drives) to build a "nice" Samba Vinumed file server (and to show our NT guyz that they did not have to spend 3 times the amount of money we spent for a performant 120Gb RAID5 volume) are now on my desk, the drives are connected to the motherboard. It works, but not the way I wanted it to. Gona try on Monday with the recent STABLE changes of the IDE drivers. Are you using current (as the list you're posting to) or stable ? Best, David. -- ......................................................................
