I sent this e-mail directly to the main developer a bit ago, which was
probably the wrong thing to do. :) (Please ignore that one. :)) At any
rate, here goes:
-------------------------
I have a new Sony BX670 here with two 100GB hard drives that are
"software raided" (RAID1, according to the BIOS) using the Intel Matrix
Storage Manager. I've built dmraid and have--what I believe--to be an
appropriately configured 2.6.15.6 kernel.
So far, dmraid is able to recognize that "something" is going on, but
when I try and activate the raid (using "dmraid -an") I get:
device-mapper: dm-linear: Invalid argument count
device-mapper: error adding target to table
A file is created regardless in /dev/mapper, though I'm not able to do
anything with it. If I might not mistaken, I should get one new block
device per partition in /dev/mapper, right?
Is there anything you can recommend I try before writing this off? I
thought I might try a newer kernel, but dmraid has been around since
2004 so I figured 2.6.15 was "recent" by it's standards... :)
P.S. I've attched the output of dmesg, dmraid -s, and fdisk -l if that
helps.
