Well the answer to this questions is that there is a VIB file, or there isn´t. If you´re wasting your time that´s your problem, is someone forcing you to answer here? In reality fakeraid exists, and I want to get mine working if it´s possible. Please go pat each others backs somewhere else.

I changed the question to focus on the core of the problem.

If I have my drives in a RAID set, ESXi does not recognize them at all. Thanks for your suggestion on having the drives as separate datastores and letting the client OS take care of RAID. It does seem cumbersome, if a drive fails, can I really have redundancy that way? (I´m think of the drive the OS is installed on.) I looked into the unofficial drivers, but they seem to be for earlier versions of ESXi. With v5 it seems I should be looking for a VIB file, but I can´t find one. Are you sure I have Intel Matrix RAID? The PCI id is: pci-ids.ucw.cz/read/PC/8086/2826
