Chris,
the promise metadata format handler in dmraid doesn't support multiple
RAID sets on the same RAID devices. I don't have evidence so far, that
there's a Promise extension supporting such.
Please send me your metadata created with "dmraid -rD" (i.e. files
*.{dat,offset,size}) tar'ed/bzip2'ed in pdc-Chris_Adams-multi.tar.bz2
and I'll see if it's possible to add multi set support for pdc to dmraid.
Cheers,
Heinz
