Всем спасибо, справился без "умников". Проблема решена.

По манере ведения диалога напомнил меня в ранней молодости, когда хотелось волшебного решения а думать головой не хотелось.

Совет на будущее - или возвращаться на окна или менять религию с "мне все должны" на "я обдумаю каждое предложенное решение".

Проблема решена.

А поделиться решением с сообществом?

Преклоняюсь перед Вашей самокритикой. Я тоже таким же был, но сказать об этом вслух первым я бы не стал

Столкнулся с этой же проблемой...

Получается в этом сервере, действительно, "не совсем аппаратный", так называемый "smart-array controller".

looking for driver on HP Dynamic Smart Array B320i on DL360e
Цитата из дискуссии в вышеприведённой ссылке:

The b-series smart array controller is designed for a *very* low cost market segment, which is why the "smarts" of the smart-array controller are implemented in software for this device. We suggest purchasing a traditional smartarray controller for people who require hardware-accelerated RAID. As was suggested in this thread, if you're concerned about using non-gpl drivers, it's advised to put the b-series controller in SATA mode whereas the ahci driver picks it up and you stay on a non-tainted kernel path. The proprietary driver we provide is mostly so people can upgrade to a traditional hardware accelerated smart array controller down the road, and have it recognize your raid configuration (no need to repartition/reformat).

The hpvsa kernel module simulates an hp smart array. The actual hardware is a more simplistic/standard host bus adapter (which is why it's easy to flip it into sata mode in the bios).

We have an hpvsa driver working on Ubuntu 12.04 at the moment. We're testing it now. I don't have an official ETA.

So having said all this, I'd be curious if you're still after a hpvsa kernel module for Ubuntu? Is your shop using smart-array for most things? tradition? Does Linux software raid present a problem? Would you be upgrading to a real smart array controller in the future, and need your drives/partitions immediately recognized?

best,

There are no "hardware accelerated" raid features on the b-series "smart array" controllers. Calling them smart array's was probably a poor choice since people expect one thing, and get another -- something we're trying to address from a marketing and customer-advisory perspective now. I wasn't around during the design cycle, but the idea was to simulate the smart array features in software, so customers could use smart array tools, and upgrade to a real smart array controller down the road w/o having to reformat their storage. If you flip the bios back to SATA mode, your data wont be organized in a way the ahci driver expects (and you'll have to reformat)... and vice versa. So if you don't need/want to use our smartarray tools, and you wont be upgrading the array with a real smart array controller in the future, I'd highly suggest using sata mode in the bios, and linux software raid.
