RAID 1+0 on Promise Fastrak S150 TX4

[Heinz Mauelshagen]

Hi Antoine,

looks like a similar one we ran into on Silicon Image.

Can you send me the 'dmraid -rD' output (*.dat, *.size and *.output)
for your config in a bzip2'ed tarball named pdc-RAID10-Antoine_Damageux.tar.bz2
please (haven't received such example from anyone so far) ?

Because I'm going to leave for my 2 week vacation on Fri, it seems
unlikely that we get this sorted before.

Heinz
