This is not so unusual. E.g. with RAID level 1 and mdadm metadata version 1.0 the RAID metadata is at the end of the underlying devices while the beginning of the underlying devices match the RAID device. So if you have a filesystem on the RAID device parted will not show the RAID flag of the partition. Thus I also suggest to remove the check entirely. ciao Arvin -- Arvin Schnell, <[email protected]> Senior Software Engineer, Research & Development SUSE Linux GmbH, GF: Felix Imendörffer, Jane Smithard, Graham Norton, HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstraße 5 90409 Nürnberg Germany
