Hi, I use 2.6.10 kernel from www.kernel.org with dmraid 1.0.0-rc5f I dont know if it has anything to do with the kernel version, since this is the first time I try to use dmraid. If I try to activate the raid, dmraid tells me that the raid is broken. The Bios does not tell me that it is broken, and with my 2.4 kernel and ataraid for hpt37x it wirks fine, without error message. --------- root@linux:~/dmraid_dump# dmraid -V dmraid version: 1.0.0-rc5f (2004.11.24) static debug dmraid library version: 1.0.0-rc5f (2004.11.24) device-mapper version: unknown root@linux:~/dmraid_dump# dmraid -ay -vv NOTICE: skipping removable device /dev/hdd NOTICE: skipping removable device /dev/hdc NOTICE: /dev/hde: hpt37x discovering NOTICE: /dev/hde: hpt37x metadata discovered NOTICE: /dev/hde: hpt45x discovering NOTICE: /dev/hde: isw discovering NOTICE: /dev/hde: lsi discovering NOTICE: /dev/hde: nvidia discovering NOTICE: /dev/hde: pdc discovering NOTICE: /dev/hde: sil discovering NOTICE: /dev/hdg: hpt37x discovering NOTICE: /dev/hdg: hpt37x metadata discovered NOTICE: /dev/hdg: hpt45x discovering NOTICE: /dev/hdg: isw discovering NOTICE: /dev/hdg: lsi discovering NOTICE: /dev/hdg: nvidia discovering NOTICE: /dev/hdg: pdc discovering NOTICE: /dev/hdg: sil discovering NOTICE: /dev/hda: hpt37x discovering NOTICE: /dev/hda: hpt45x discovering NOTICE: /dev/hda: isw discovering NOTICE: /dev/hda: lsi discovering NOTICE: /dev/hda: nvidia discovering NOTICE: /dev/hda: pdc discovering NOTICE: /dev/hda: sil discovering NOTICE: added /dev/hde to RAID set "hpt37x_cdfeagifg" NOTICE: added /dev/hdg to RAID set "hpt37x_cdfeagifg" ERROR: hpt37x: device /dev/hde broken in RAID set "hpt37x_cdfeagifg" [2/1] ERROR: hpt37x: device /dev/hdg broken in RAID set "hpt37x_cdfeagifg" [2/1] ERROR: keeping degraded mirror set "hpt37x_cdfeagifg" ERROR: no mapping possible for RAID set hpt37x_cdfeagifg root@linux:~/dmraid_dump# dmraid -sa -vv NOTICE: skipping removable device /dev/hdd NOTICE: skipping removable device /dev/hdc NOTICE: /dev/hde: hpt37x discovering NOTICE: /dev/hde: hpt37x metadata discovered NOTICE: /dev/hde: hpt45x discovering NOTICE: /dev/hde: isw discovering NOTICE: /dev/hde: lsi discovering NOTICE: /dev/hde: nvidia discovering NOTICE: /dev/hde: pdc discovering NOTICE: /dev/hde: sil discovering NOTICE: /dev/hdg: hpt37x discovering NOTICE: /dev/hdg: hpt37x metadata discovered NOTICE: /dev/hdg: hpt45x discovering NOTICE: /dev/hdg: isw discovering NOTICE: /dev/hdg: lsi discovering NOTICE: /dev/hdg: nvidia discovering NOTICE: /dev/hdg: pdc discovering NOTICE: /dev/hdg: sil discovering NOTICE: /dev/hda: hpt37x discovering NOTICE: /dev/hda: hpt45x discovering NOTICE: /dev/hda: isw discovering NOTICE: /dev/hda: lsi discovering NOTICE: /dev/hda: nvidia discovering NOTICE: /dev/hda: pdc discovering NOTICE: /dev/hda: sil discovering NOTICE: added /dev/hde to RAID set "hpt37x_cdfeagifg" NOTICE: added /dev/hdg to RAID set "hpt37x_cdfeagifg" ERROR: hpt37x: device /dev/hde broken in RAID set "hpt37x_cdfeagifg" [2/1] ERROR: hpt37x: device /dev/hdg broken in RAID set "hpt37x_cdfeagifg" [2/1] ERROR: keeping degraded mirror set "hpt37x_cdfeagifg" root@linux:~/dmraid_dump# dmraid -r -vv NOTICE: skipping removable device /dev/hdd NOTICE: skipping removable device /dev/hdc NOTICE: /dev/hde: hpt37x discovering NOTICE: /dev/hde: hpt37x metadata discovered NOTICE: /dev/hde: hpt45x discovering NOTICE: /dev/hde: isw discovering NOTICE: /dev/hde: lsi discovering NOTICE: /dev/hde: nvidia discovering NOTICE: /dev/hde: pdc discovering NOTICE: /dev/hde: sil discovering NOTICE: /dev/hdg: hpt37x discovering NOTICE: /dev/hdg: hpt37x metadata discovered NOTICE: /dev/hdg: hpt45x discovering NOTICE: /dev/hdg: isw discovering NOTICE: /dev/hdg: lsi discovering NOTICE: /dev/hdg: nvidia discovering NOTICE: /dev/hdg: pdc discovering NOTICE: /dev/hdg: sil discovering NOTICE: /dev/hda: hpt37x discovering NOTICE: /dev/hda: hpt45x discovering NOTICE: /dev/hda: isw discovering NOTICE: /dev/hda: lsi discovering NOTICE: /dev/hda: nvidia discovering NOTICE: /dev/hda: pdc discovering NOTICE: /dev/hda: sil discovering INFO: RAID devices discovered: /dev/hde: hpt37x, "hpt37x_cdfeagifg", mirror, ok, 234441648 sectors, data@ 0 /dev/hdg: hpt37x, "hpt37x_cdfeagifg", mirror, ok, 234441648 sectors, data@ 10 root@linux:~/dmraid_dump# -------------------- I have already sent the results of "dmraid -rD" to Mauelshagen@xxxxxxxxxx All I want to know is where the problem is. dmraid bug or kernel bug or just stupid noob user :) thanks Roland
