Hi, I recently desided to backup all my important data to my data array 
and reinstall Fedora Core 4 as it was starting crash a lot. After 
reinstall, dmraid does not activate the partition, it just activates the 
raid set. I have googled extesnively on this for a few days now. Could 
someone please help me on this?

# /sbin/dmraid -a y -vvv -ddd

 From this I gather that dmraid created the partitioned raidset but in 
/dev/mapper all I have is pdc_dcbagbdid. Any help would be greatly 
appreciated.
Michael
