Hi Phillip,

The RAID needs to be accessible from Windows and Linux. And I already use the RAID under windows for my USER(would be /home for linux) directory. > I believe it should just work unless they changed the format of the > dmsetup table. > Could be true.

But as far as I can tell I only get "found 0 sectors" for all the three disks. Maybe adding the offset patch from ubuntu will do the trick. > dmraid already understands pdc metadata. > Does this include all the info needed to setup a RAID-5. For instance there are four different algorithm, left-asymmetric, left-symmetric, right-asymmetric and right-symmetric that can be picked. > Ubtunu 12.04 has switched to letting kpartx activate the partitions > instead of dmraid, which supports GPT. > Another patch I can apply to the source tree. :-) Kind regards, Mark-Willem |
