I disagree that it's ok.
If dmraid enables RAID devices based on sd{a,b}, then the kernel
should IMHO be prevented from doing things such as creating wrong
devices for the partitions of the individual disks, such as you are
seeing here.
yes, probably dmraid should lock the underlying device, and the
partitioning code should be taken out of the kernel and into userspace.
Q2: I'm about to reinstall the same structure but into a RAID0 array
instead. I'd like to use Windows and Linux, and also have the advantage
of striping. How can I make the installer to see the array? (dmraid
does not come with the installer. All the installers I tried saw only
two physical disks.)
don't believe modern hard drives are suitable for raid 0, failure rate
is too high.
The only graphical installer I know of that supports dmraid is
anaconda in Fedora Core 5.
Mandriva 2006 installer supports graphical install with dmraid as well
