Hi all, I'm new on this list. I'm very interesting in dmraid because I get two hardware Raid chipsets on my mobo (A8V Deluxe Wifi Edition). Also, I'm running Gentoo Linux 2005.0 with linux 2.6.11. On BIOS, with FastTrack utility, I've configured my disks in RAID1 mode. $ lspci |grep RAID 0000:00:08.0 RAID bus controller: Promise Technology, Inc. PDC20378 (FastTrak 378/SATA 378) (rev 02) 0000:00:0f.0 RAID bus controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VIA VT6420 SATA RAID Controller (rev 80) Two (160GB) ATA Hard Drive disks are plugged on ATA Raid port. Another (120GB) Hard Drive disk is plugged on primary master. The two 160GB disks are known as sda and sdb. So, Linux Kernel is configured with Promise 378, and SATA VIA but the 160GB HDD seem to be controlled by Promise 378. Kernel messages about sata and promise are attached. So I've done a : $ genkernel --kernel-config=/usr/src/config-2.6.11-gentoo-r11 --udev --dmraid --no-clean --lvm2 all When I've run: $ dmraid -ay I get a new device: /dev/mapper/pdc_gjbjdagge So I've tried: $ cfdisk /dev/mapper/pdc_gjbjdaggeon but 80GB only are available, then I create a partition with whole space => $ cfdisk /dev/sd[a|b] shows only one 80GB partition and 80GB free space on both disks. that's why I'm wondering if it is possible to make more 80GB with dmraid? What's wrong? Thanks Nicolas
