Host: CentOS 5.6 & 6.0 x86_64
RAID controller: ARC-1880IX-24
Setup hardware RAID volume(s) using RAID BIOS. (Tab/F6 at booting)
If CentOS was installed without Areca driver, follow these steps:
yum install gcc-c++ kernel-devel makeDownload source tar ball from http://www.areca.com.tw/support/s_linux/linux.htm
Unzip and cd into it
makechmod u+x arcmsr.koinsmod arcmsr.koUse
fdisk -l to verify the RAID volume(s) are visible.Use fdisk/gparted(provided by EPEL repo) to create partition table and manage logic volumes.

Hi, thanks for the tip. I'm running CentOS 6.0 and a 1880 raid controller, insmod will make the controller visible, but after reboot, it's gone. I have to do it manually everytime. Is there any way to make it load automatically at startup? thanks!
