RAID questions
How can I tell if my computer's motherboard supports hardware RAID? I'm guessing the simple answer would be to look up the information on the specific motherboard model my computer uses. However, my system's motherboard is a Foxconn LS-36, a model name applied to several different motherboards, making it difficult to find any useful information.

Re: RAID questions
lspci might tell you enough details about your chipset, otherwise dmesg.
Otherwise, look in the bios for options.
In any case, it would be a fakeraid: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto, so you can use linux's software raid which has the same result.

Re: RAID questions
Okay, thanks. Right now I'm considering setting up my computer to use RAID, when/if I get an additional hard disk. I might just put RAID on the new computer I'm planning on building.

Re: RAID questions
Your motherboard uses fake RAID. Use linux software RAID.
