You are using a very old version (rc9) of dmraid with a newer kernel and there are known problems with that. Try using a newer version (rc13?) you can download here: http://people.redhat.com/~heinzm/sw/dmraid/ <blockquote style='border-top: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0.8ex 0pt 0pt 0pt; padding-bottom: 1ex;'> ---------[ Received Mail Content ]---------- Subject : Intel SATA RAID Date : Sat, 09 Dec 2006 10:46:38 +0800 From : Hadders <ata.raid@workingwithit.com> To : ATA RAID <ataraid-list@redhat.com> Hi all, I've been asking questions over on the fedora-list, but someone suggested I try here. I have a 945P Intel chipset, and have just bought two Seagate 320GB SATAII disks. They have been jumpered for SATAII peformance and I've created a RAID 0 container through the Intel BIOS. I've loaded the drivers in to Windows and can see the container there okay. I haven't set it to boot from yet, because I want to migrate my existing Linux setup to it. This is where the fun starts. To share the RAID 0 container between Linux and Windows I need to use the Intel driver set. I will eventually set this as my boot device and use GRUB to boot between XP, Vista and Linux (FC5). However, I can't seem to load the container from within my FC5 setup kernel: 2.6.17-1.2145_FC5smp dmraid version: 1.0.0.rc9 (2005.09.23) debug dmraid library version: 1.0.0.rc9 (2005.09.23) device-mapper version: 4.6.0 > dmraid -s -g *** Superset name : isw_bdbbdbcbda size : 1250284892 stride : 0 type : GROUP status : ok subsets: 1 devs : 2 spares : 0 --> Subset name : isw_bdbbdbcbda_MyRAID0 size : 1250275846 stride : 256 type : stripe status : ok subsets: 0 devs : 2 spares : 0 That's cool, makes sense, group, containing MyRAID0 (name in Intel BIOS) > dmraid -ay ERROR: dos: reading /dev/mapper/isw_bdbbdbcbda_MyRAID0[No such file or directory] huh?! why does it error? > ls -la /dev/mapper drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 80 Dec 9 10:42 . drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 4540 Dec 9 10:42 .. crw------- 1 root root 10, 63 Dec 9 10:27 control brw-rw---- 1 root disk 253, 0 Dec 9 10:42 isw_bdbbdbcbda_MyRAID0 > fdisk -l /dev/mapper/isw_bdbbdbcbda_MyRAID0 (nada, zip, zilch, nutin') So I can see it, but can't access it?? Weird thing, if I boot up FC5 disk 1 and do a linux rescue, I can see it and list things partitions (made from fdisk in rescue mode)? How is it mounting it, yet I can't? Please, any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
