Hi Kai,

Thanks for your advice.  

The RAID-0 box is for test purpose.  The RAID controller needs a driver
to run but it works for Windows only.  There is no driver for Linux
therefore Redhat can't see a single drive but 2 drives instead.  I have
no idea about Gentoo and just try to test it as advised that it is
possible.

Sorry I have no idea about a "real" RAID controller.  I know some thing
about software RAID on Redhat but not software RAID on Windows.  How to
distinguish whether it a "real RAID controller or not?

Is there a ""Software-RAID-HOWTO" in Gentoo or just the same as Redhat

Kindly advise.  Thanks in advance.
