OK So this is the mdadm mailing list, and the /dev/mapper is irrelevant
here, right? So ...
How do I load my existing raid arrays with mdadm?

either with md or dmraid + ntfs-3g
I must also know that the loading of the partitions in linux will not
damage them.
Is the Intel Matrix Raid feature safe ?
which one?
dmraid i have no info, just tried it once,
mdadm: check the archives of this list
3.0.2 is broken
3.0.3 fixes some bugs
many more bug fixes are in git and will be in 3.1.2 i believe.
I tried with the latest Knoppix 6.2 LiveCD, but the device was not >

mesuspicious that my raids are not recognized well.
/dev/mapper is dmraid not mdadm,
besides that what do you mean with two many?
show evidence (dmsetup ls, dmraid -c, etc)
and maybe send it to ataraid-list@xxxxxxxxxx, which deals with dmraid
Packages versions in my Knoppix:

==================================================
PS. I am not next to that machine right now, but I have 3 raid devices
on it and in the /dev/mapper there were about 6 or 8 devices some of
which had similar names and consecutive numbers e.g.
xxxxxxxxxxxxx_System1 xxxxxxxxxxxxx_System2 xxxxxxxxxxxxx_System3 while
my partition on one of the raid devices was called System and was raid
1 of two disks.
