How to make a raid 0 bootable?

The problem seems to be that the Motherboard is not seeing the Raid 0 array I created and thus cannot boot from it, Anyone have any ideas?
 
Trying to make OS boot from RAID 0? You are asking yourself a big trouble. A recipe for huge disaster any time and you will lose everything. Don't do it. You will regret.

If you want to use all of your 3 disks, do a RAID 5. You will lose one disk of capacity, but you will not be screwed if one disk gone bad or lose power/connection.

Figured out the problem raid arrays cannot be more than 2 TB and be bootable.

mxnerd, I appreciate the concern, I need the space and I have a backup solution in place should a drive fail.

I have also read that on this chipset raid 5 is to be avoided due to a serve speed trade off.
 
Intel Matrix is not reliable at all. I have experiece with ICH9R with one motehrboard which keeps losing the power/connection, I don't know if it's power related or Intel Matrix related.

But luckily I'm on RAID 5 so it's still recoverable. Although very slow when one disk lose power/connection. Had to back down to RAID 1. But the power/connection problem keeps happening from time to time and I have to purchase a DELL 5i SAS controller, and the problem completely solved ever since.

I know each motherboard is different. I'm just telling my story. Good luck.
 
make the boot partition like raid-1 200gb then create your segments raid-0 2TB,etc.

it is extremely bad mojo to boot off such large partition (if even supported).

there's a reason why folks kept /boot and / (root) small and put the files on /var /usr etc on unix - it was to keep corruption of filesystems isolated back in the days of UFS/EXT when it was just as touchy as fat32
