OK, so it is the partitioning step that is causing the problem. I suspect now that libparted is most likely to be the cause of the problem, especially as after a reboot existing partitions are by dmraid detected as you would expect (without the "p"). But another possibility is that you are just not following the correct procedure. Support for dmraid is far from perfect and things will *only* work if you follow the documented procedure. How did you do the partitioning? Did you *exactly* follow the instructions that are given in the "Partitioning" section of the SataRAID wiki page [1]? Did the partman screens look like the examples that are given there? Screenshots before and after doing the "Write changes in SATA RAID partitioning to disk" step would be nice too. Please send the /var/log/partman (gzipped!) after you do the partitioning. > I selected the first ext3 entry, below serial ata raid (mirror), I had an > out of memory: The out of memory should not happen, but selecting the "first" partition is *wrong*.
