Hmmm. I think there is an issue with the offset in that case. And earlier I was fooling myself by reading the same MBR back twice.
Its hard to reverse engineer over a long distance. If I could find a cheap promise controller I would buy one to have a go at fixing this but unfortunately it looks like we have hit a snag. Without being able to access the disks and the hardware directly I don't think we can go much further. I have done some digging and it appears that the promise fakeraid controllers had issues with the 32-bit LBA (which is the issue here) and this is why I cannot really see how to fix it easily. They fixed it with a patch in their drivers and firmware. But they are a very closed source group and I couldn't find any more info. I have emailed them but I don't expect a response. Sorry but it looks like we aren't going to solve this issue. As a workaround you could create a third RAID disk. So you have 2 x 2TB and 1 x 500GB drives. This will allow you to see all drives in all OSes and have the speed advantage of RAID0. -- dmraid fails to read promise RAID sector count larger than 32-bits https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/599255 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
