TrixBox RAID Tutorial

Hello,
What's the most important attribute of a computer-based PBX? If a drive or power supply fails, the business doesn't stay paralyzed until the problem is fixed. However, it seems to me that the TrxiBox RAID setup is not very well documented (apart from few unclear posts). It's very unpleasant when you set up TrixBox on a hardware RAID and find out that TrixBox detected the individual drives instead of the mirror.

The problem is that the two drives were configured as RAID 1 in the hardware BIOS but TrixBox saw them as two separate drives.

Is it possible to run sata-raid after the OS is already installed?

How to install Software RAID on IDE?
There are very few systems supporting IDE anymore so we do not support this. It you want to do it used the advanced option and partition the disks yourself.
I have a cheap motherboard that has "hardware RAID" it works under windows but not Linux. This is "fake RAID" all the RAID is done in software under in the windows driver. Use linux software RAID your will get the same preformance or buy a real raid controller.
