Marek,

the Promise RAID set assembly still has name issues, which lead to creating
names of devices wrongly. I'm working on this now...

Please send me your metadata so that I can test your case:

# dmraid -rD
# tar jxcvf pdc-Marek_Olszewski.tar.bz2 *.dat *.offset

I need the *.tar.bz2 file.

Regards,
Heinz
