Hi René-Pierre. > > * What does the sequence 'eaaajjcij' mean ? In order to uniquely distinguish one array from another, dmraid needs to generate unique device names. For Highpoint 37x series, it is derived from the magic_0 number and, in case of RAID10, the magic_1 number as well which are part of the Highpoint ondisk metadata. The generated string gets prefixed with "hpt37x_". > * I have two ext3 partitions on that array, how can I access them now ? You should have /dev/mapper/hpt37x_eaaajjcij_pX devnodes where X is the respective number of your partition unless you activated with option -p. Try "ls /dev/mapper/hpt*" or "dmsetup ls|grep '^hpt'" to list them. BTW: you might consider to generate convenience symlinks to your Highpoint devnodes. > > -- > Rene > > > _______________________________________________ > > Ataraid-list@xxxxxxxxxx > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ataraid-list Regards, Heinz -- The LVM Guy -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Heinz Mauelshagen Red Hat GmbH Consulting Development Engineer Am Sonnenhang 11 56242 Marienrachdorf Germany Mauelshagen@xxxxxxxxxx +49 2626 141200 FAX 924446 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
