Tejun, fdisk -l output is attached Basically, in the ICH8 BIOS: /dev/sda + sdb = 2 500GB drives in RAID1 configuration /dev/sdc + sdd + sde + sdf = 4 320GB drives in RAID5 configuration /dev/sdg is a 320GB boot drive connected to the JMB363 chipset Is there some kind of problem when probing these partitions because they are fake software RAID through the ICH8? The messages only spew at boot time. Thanks, -Andrew On 5/24/07, Tejun Heo <htejun@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
