I have a setup that probably nobody else has but I have kind of a general question about storage support.
I have a custom made pc (specs at the end) but with a Dell Perc S300 raid controller pci card installed. That contoller is actually a software raid and officially it's only supported under Windows.
OS X is not installed on a drive attached to this controller so my install is fine. The thing is that I have a 4TB raid-5 on that card and I'm trying to get access to it from OS X.
Now I understand that I need drivers for it to be recognized by OS X but what I don't understand is that Chimera lists it at boot, even retrieving the volume name!
Is Chimera (Chameleon) a completely unrelated piece of software to OS X and that the fact that it recognize the drive doesn't mean anything or could it be a hint that I would be able to do something to have OS X recognize it?
Thanks!
