I've just tried gen2dmraid on my computer, with no success. First it
says "Invalid block size 2048 on hdc", I mounted hdc and it turns out
that it's part of the CD, probably trivial. The main error is: "No
software raid sets". I tried again, specifying -f pdc, but still the
same error. I followed the instructions on
http://tienstra4.flatnet.tudelft.nl/~gerte/gen2dmraid/ except instead of
"modprobe sata_sil" I used "modprobe sata_promise", and instead of "wget
http://tienstra4.flatnet.tudelft.nl/~gerte/gen2dmraid/dmraid-dietlibc-1.0.0-rc4"
I copied the file from a floppy disk.
I am using Promise FastTrak Tx2 Plus S150 software raid controller (I
think this is the PDC20371).
Thank you,
Erlend
