I was actually trying to make a different point. Namely that it was curious that the error message complains about sector 3907028974 which is exactly the size of the array + 19566, or in other words 1 sector past the end of array: /dev/sdb2 start: 19566 end: 3907029134 size: 3907029134 - 19566 + 1 = 3907009568 /dev/md0 start: 0 end: 3907009407 size: 3907009407 - 0 + 1 = 3907009408 If dm maps linear to the disk sectors: dm /dev/sdb2 0 19566 1 19567 ... 3907009406 3907028972 3907009407 3907028973 What dm sector would map to physical sector 3907028974? /Allan -- Allan Wind Life Integrity, LLC <http://lifeintegrity.com> -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
