well that got me further, then I got the following: <snip> In file included from internal.h:39, from activate/activate.c:24: device/dev-io.h:41: error: field `geometry' has incomplete type make: *** [activate/activate.o] Error 1 <snip> after doing some digging (aka googling) I wound up switching "hd_geometry" in for "hd_big_geometry" in device/dev-io.h and it compiled just fine. so now running dmraid -v -ay generates the following: Failed to find sysfs mount point Carrying on with /dev/ hpt37x_dddjhcefg: 0 312602880 striped 2 128 /dev/hde 10 /dev/hdg 10 Activated stripe RAID set hpt37x_dddjhcefg now this hpt37x_dddjhcefg doesn't seem to be a usable partition as far as I can tell, so I don't know what the next step would be. For completeness, this machine is running a 2.6.8 kernel w/ udev + device-mapper-1.00.19 + evms-2.3.4 anybody have any ideas?
