Some strange behavior with Promise Fasttrak

[Örjan Persson]

Hello!

I've just installed dmraid and tried to use it. The odd thing is that
the two first partitions work but the third doesn't. I'm using the
Fasttrak controller found on an Soyo K7V Dragon+ motherboard.

I figure some logs will maybe explain my problem to you more easily ...

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mapper/pdc_daicbgifh6,
       missing codepage or other error
       (could this be the IDE device where you in fact use
       ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so

$ dmesg | tail -n 3
NTFS-fs error (device dm-17): read_ntfs_boot_sector(): Unable to read primary boot sector.
NTFS-fs error (device dm-17): read_ntfs_boot_sector(): Mount option errors=recover not used. Aborting without trying to recover.
NTFS-fs error (device dm-17): ntfs_fill_super(): Not an NTFS volume.
------ log. ------

The thing is that I'm able to mount the partitions with minor 1 and 5,
but not the one with 6. Mounting the partition using either hde6 or hdf6
works correctly -- but not when going through the mapper. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Örjan
