ianw1974 Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 It looks like it's mounted under /mnt/raidcleggett08, so do this from a console: ls /mnt/raidcleggett08 and if you see files listed, then it's mounted, and you just need to access it from this directory.

xboxboy Posted December 27, 2008 Author Share Posted December 27, 2008 Ian, I tried that, but still no luck. I'm thinking of doing a re-install in a new partition and try to hook it up using the custom partitioning. I dont really want to loose my current 2008.1 install as its been updated, and down want to do another big download session. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xboxboy Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 Ian if I rename the array is it likely to be detected as a new device? Or is there some way to force re detection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 If you rename you might have problems but I don't know in all honesty because it's different with mdadm raid configuration to what you have. It should have been working considering how it looks set and that it's mounted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xboxboy Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 Ian, I had a work collegue download 2009 Free DVD and I installed it, letting the installer using free space. Well it detects the raid as /mnt/win_c2. Beautiful, at last. I'm not sure what I was doing wrong, but it now works as intended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tux99 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I realise I'm late in this thread, but I just wanted to add the following link that explains the situation with regards to fakeraid and Linux: http://linux-ata.org/faq-sata-raid.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xboxboy Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 Hi guys, just cleaning up my system now that its all working. I have two swap partitions. Here is part of my /etc/fstab file # Entry for /dev/sdc5 :UUID=5a8732f5-8fd6-45eb-a7a3-0a68de5883e8 swap swap defaults 0 0 # Entry for /dev/sdc9 : UUID=72473152-118e-4080-9354-a95068fa18dc swap swap defaults 0 0 sdc5 is 7.8Gb sdc9 is 3.8Gb. I would imagine that I can do without sdc9. Is it a matter of erasing the partition and removing that entry from the fstab file? or are they are items I need to attend to?

scarecrow Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 If you erase the partition the system will not boot at all. Simply leave one of them at fstab, and format the other to something useful. And by the way both of them are WAY oversized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xboxboy Posted March 7, 2009 Author Share Posted March 7, 2009 Sorry I dont quite understand what you mean. Do you mean leave one swap entry in fstab and do something with that partition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xboxboy Posted March 21, 2009 Author Share Posted March 21, 2009 Is there some way that I can monitor the health of the array. Intel provides a nice interface for windows, but nothing for Linux, instead letting dmraid look after it. I can't see a way to monitor the array.
