Dmraid driver

Hello everyone. I recently compiled a dmraid driver for ESXi 4u2, but the board I was going to try it on died. Is it ok to post it here for others to try? I have no idea if it even works, as I've never compiled a driver for ESXi before. The driver should support raid 0, raid 1, and raid 10 on those fake raid chipsets (intel matrix raid, etc...). I'm guessing you would have to build the raid arrays in the bios. Thanks.

Post it at http://vm-help.com. It wouldn't be a supportable driver and I wouldn't encourage it's use. ESX(i) has enough to do without also needing to compute RAID.

Yes, I posted it on the vm-help forum. It's under the Intel Matrix driver post. Let me know how it goes!
