Hi! I have an adaptec hostraid controller (fakeraid) with 2 drives connected in a RAID1 array (metadata is in DDF format) which is nicely detected and enabled by dmraid, there is no problem with it after it's enabled. Recently debian's dmraid-booter has switched to use udev. But udev does not detect my drives as raid type, ID_FS_USAGE is missing from the drive info (it should be "raid"), so the result is that dmraid does not called at boot. Also vol_id sees the partitions as normal partitions. I've recognised that one of my disks has a HPA, the other hasn't. I'm not sure if this has any effect, but because of this, the DDF1-headers are not at the same position on the 2 drives. Below are some outputs. The last one is a 'dmraid -n' output, and what is strange for me at first sight is that both drives has 2 DDF1-headers. Is this normal? Or do you think I should try to rebuild the raid array with the bios utility (maybe after some bios upgrade)? Or is this rather an udev problem?
