I just got a new PC and had them install Fedora Core 2 on a box with two 120 GB drives with RAID 0 configuration. At the BIOS level, the drives appear to be RAID'ed successfully. However, when I look at the hard drive configuration from within Fedora Core, I see both drives! Shouldn't I be allowed to see just one at the OS level? Are there known issues with RAID controllers and FC2? Anyone have similar experiences?
I'm probably going to download and install using FC3 since it's a new machine and I might as well get the latest version right away. But I want to know if there's any known incompatibility.
THANKS!!

I'd avoid FC3 if I had the chance.

What is the content of /etc/fstab?

Here's a copy of etc/fstab. Note that sda2 is the main partition on the drive that appears to be the main one the data is on. The other drive is labeled sdb and has one big partition of type ext2
LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
/dev/sda2 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660
noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner,kudzu

I might be wrong, but that doesn't look like a RAID config at all.
I'd expect to see partitions like /dev/md[n] for IDE disks, or /dev/rd/[nnnn] for SCSI disks there...

I would think the OS would see the two disks, yes. It should however be mounting and using the logical device which is your stripe across the two of them.
