Your question is a bit vague and it is unclear if you have A) FakeRaid (uses motherboard's BIOS to setup RAID) or B) Linux's own software RAID and whether you're trying to replace it with A) Hardware RAID card, B) FakeRAID card or C) just transfer the disks and trust Linux's own software RAID will continue working. If you're buying an actual hardware RAID card the transfer from software RAID, be it FakeRAID or Linux RAID, probably won't work. Edit: reason I'm asking is because, if my memory serves me right, you can see FakeRAID disks with mdadm. Have you checked your (RAID)BIOS on boot?– DocWeirdCommented Apr 5, 2017 at 12:21

I am using openmediasever's raid setup (which is running a debian distro). I'm unsure as to whether this is FakeRaid or Linux raid, is there a command to determine this ?– Baz GCommented Apr 5, 2017 at 12:41

I am trying to just move it from one motherboard to the other, raid unchanged. I am nearly extending the ports available with a raid card.– Baz GCommented Apr 5, 2017 at 12:43

Do you mean "OpenMediaVault"? Unless you specifically setup a FakeRAID, then it is most likely you're using the software RAID that comes with your server software. In my opinion this "hardware only change" is most likely to succeed.– DocWeirdCommented Apr 5, 2017 at 12:53

I do indeed, my bad. I shall try determine if my raid is FakeRaid or not.– Baz GCommented Apr 5, 2017 at 12:56

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. windows-7), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
