Thomas - thanks for doing this, very much appreciated.

I have been able to get a pair of Samsung NVME SSDs with an ASUS Hyper M.2 V2 in an X570 board to show up as a RAID0 under Windows, now trying for the same in Ubuntu Linux 18.04 (kernel 5.0.0-37-generic).

When I insert the rcraid module I get no errors, but partprobe and "parted -l" still see just a pair of NVME drives, no RAID device.

Are there any steps I need to do beyond configuring the RAID in BIOS, and loading the rcraid module?

Cheers! Eric

Closing this, as I had a look at closed issues and saw that NVME RAID is not really well supported.

But, thanks still! I can do something with SATA SSDs instead I think.

I would love to make it work, I need to drop dualboot because of incompatibility:( Is there any other way?

I'm not sure what your question is, as dual boot does not have any obvious connection to NVME AMD-RAID per se. My research and testing indicates NVME RAID via rcraid & AMD RAID does not work in Linux. Hope that helps.
