Yep... the drive appears to have a really bizzare serial number using non alpha-numeric characters which does not match the serial number recorded in the raid metadata. This is likely due to the bios and dmraid interpreting the meaning of the non ascii bytes differently. I will have to investigat

Sorry, I got a bit mixed up with some other bug reports. Now that I look at the metadata again after reading my previous comments, it does appear that the metadata on sdb is corrupted and the windows driver just isn't noticing. To verify, can you post the output of sudo hdparm -i /dev/sdb? -- d

jonssonj, it appears that the windows driver does not do very much consistency checking to validate that the metadata makes sense before trying to access the disks, possibly in a way that could cause data loss. Could you post the output of dmraid -n, and dmesg? I think I may know what is wrong.

If you could build a raid on two drives that are totally blank ( dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda ), then look at what is written, it would help. I had noticed that NVRAID part myself, but that is not the signature that dmraid is looking for. I am thinking that nvidia has come up with a new metadata fo
