Thank you Peter for confirming that current git version of GParted does correctly list your firmware RAID array. When GParted is started, it invokes the command "dmraid -ay -v" to ensure that the /dev/mapper device entries are created. If you have found a problem in the boot log, then you might w

I can confirm that the latest commit of gparted (Aug 17 commit c55a8de) does correctly *list* my firmware raid array (/dev/mapper/isw_cbdbfhdjad_Raid0) and the partitions thereon. Before I experiment to see if it can edit the partitions, I need to find out why the boot log is saying my "partition

I will be happy to test this on an Intel esb2 raid 0 array. I know for a fact that gparted worked on this array with karmic and custom 2.6.33 kernel. I'll let you know. It's going to be a little while though because I'm in the middle of a maverick kernel build right now. -- Gparted not usable

Good news! I believe that I have solved this problem, and I would like some help with testing. Is anyone able to compile and test GParted source code from the GNOME git repository? Instructions on how to compile GParted from the git source code repository can be found at the following link:

GParted requires both dmraid and kpartx to properly function with FAKERAID. The Ubuntu 10.04 Live CD did not ship with kpartx and this is why GParted will not automatically detect FAKERAID setups. The kpartx application is required to create the proper device names when the dmraid command does no

Very interesting. I used the command: sudo gparted /dev/mapper/nvidia_aevhdfib to access my raid with gparted. I shrank a partition and created a new ext4 partition. The partition was created without flaw and conformed to the naming convention! It appears that the behavior of gparted may also be

"A secondary issue complicated the install as well: in 9.04, 9.10 and 10.04, gparted does not see active fake raid devices, instead it lists physical disks. The workaround is to invoke "gparted /dev/mapper/jmicron_MIRROR", or whatever your RAID device name may be." I haven't seen this last observa

The behavior of gparted in Ubuntu 10.10 alpha 2 continues. At this state, 10.10 cannot be installed unless the target partition(s) is pre- formatted. At the point of formatting the installation will fail. The bootloader, however will be accepted and installed to the raid drive. The progress messag
