![]() ![]() Losing 1GB just because of a 512MB ESP partition is unacceptable for me. But if I put the EFI partition outside the softraid solution, then the disk becomes unbalanced because there will be space on the second and third disk I cannot use because RAID dictates that all three disks must have identical storage. The caveat is if I use LVM, MDADM or any other softraid solutions like ZFS or BTRFS RAID, the machine cannot see the EFI ESP partition. The NVME part suggests that NVME RAID is now supported. The salt on the wound here is that this new version supports NVMe RAID arrays. I already asked Gigabyte, who redirected me back to AMD. The problem is right there- "Use a browser to access the web site of your system supplier or motherboard vendor." , the user guide, mentions a new version of the driver available that supports both NVME and SATA RAID arrays. Problem is it does not support NVMe RAID. As I mentioned before I want to convert my X399 workstation to Linux because the Killer NIC is unstable in Windows 10 but works flawlessly when I ran a Linux Live CD on it for several hours, but I want to use RCRAID because I want to preserve the geometry of my NVMe RAID array but UEFI cannot boot if the EFI partition is in a ZFS, LVM or MDADM pool, ie if the EFI ESP boot partition is not in a disk array format other than RCRaid. AMD, please put a copy of this driver on your site for download. I have contacted Gigabyte for the drivers, only to be told that they don't have it. ![]() However apparently they are not releasing it to the public and are making it only available through motherboard manufacturers. Recently, I have come to discover that AMD has quietly released new RCRaid drivers, version 9.3.0, that do support NVMe RAID. It's available as a DKMS drop-in for Ubuntu and supports most known Zen-targeted chipsets out there (I know it works with X399, X570, X470, B450, X370, B350 and A320). So I know that AMD has had the RCRaid drivers 8.1.0 openly available for ages. ![]()
