[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/$ sudo dmraid -r -D No RAID disks Does that mean that not only could dmraid not understand the metadata, but that there was no metadata found at all?

I notice that the first partition starts at block 63. Should it start at 31 to work with dmraid? I read something about how linux raid partitions put their superblock at the end of the data partitions and not at the beginning? I used partition magic 8.05 to make all these partitions. here are some links that seemed relevant - although I don't really understand a number of them... http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/Hardware/Promise_FastTrack_PDC20378_PATA_or_RAID http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/debian-linux-help/12741-problem-installing-promise-fasttrak-s150-sx4-2-4-2-6-7-a.html http://humandoing.net/past/2006/3/19/raid_on_linux_ubuntu_510/ http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=98624 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/74329 http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=41912 http://forum.linux-sevenler.org/index.php?topic=1097.0;prev_next=prev I'm so confused!! -- Fasttrack Promise not recognized: "No RAID disks" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/112402 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
