Intel RST

[Hary06]

Can anyone give me information on whether there is a distribution that I could install without being bothered by Intel RST?

So far as I know, that number is zero. Linux doesn't support RST - or, perhaps I should say it the other way? RST doesn't support Linux.

Intel RST

That page mentions some 'if' scenarios - but so far I've never encountered an 'if' scenario where RST was recognized. That's with multiple distros and multiple tests.

Granted, it has been about six months since I last tested this. I can find no information that indicates things have really changed. You pretty much have to disable it if you want to use Linux. The linked article will tell you the changes you have to make on Windows if you're dual booting with said OS.

Thanks for the reply and your help, I will have to try to install the accompanying guide you sent me ( linked article ).

I am running 3 Intel RST Raid1's on a Dell Vostro 470 with Linux Mint 21 and although it is very crippled by lacking software it does work well. You just have to allow the Option-ROM to run from BIOS. CTRL+I gets you into the controls.
You don't get any advanced stuff like email notifications - or any notifications for that matter, but when you boot you can see the status & make changes. It will rebuild w/o intervention and continue through boot cycles like it's supposed to.
Been working for 4 months now & it does a successfull 4TB rebuild overnight. It seems WAY faster on Mint. 10TB took less than 2 days - that took over a week on z390 Windowz 10e64 !
Good Luck to those who venture.
