Yes, I know.

I tryed to mount the array with the pdc controller and doesn't get recognized:

| EXT3-fs error (device dm-0): ext3_check_descriptors: Block bitmap for group 
896 not in group (block 62914560)!
| EXT3-fs: group descriptors corrupted!

I can't talk with the previous owner of the computer, but this is what I think 
he done: in his previous motherboard (Asus P800) he built the isw fakeraid 
array (so the isw_bb... name). Later he changed motherboard and plugged the 
array directly in the promise fasttrack tx4 sata sockets. And (re)created the 
array in the system bios. Surprisingly the system recognized the previous isw 
fakeraid: this can explain the dual signature (pdc and isw) in the device.

This is off-topic: the array is working well but should I re-create properly 
the array with the pdc controller? any gain? or switch to LVM?

For the moment I'll stick with the 1.0.0.rc14-7 version.

Thanks
