If the 'normal' drive doesn't have any raid metadata, ie not been used in a fakeraid before, then you shouldn't suffer from this bug. This bug is primarily to do with the metadata not being read properly by dmraid and so the device isn't exposed properly to the rest of the system.
In particular the msb of the sector count is not read properly and so you end up with odd drive capacitys. The bug will take forever at the moment. I don't have this piece of hardware and I don't have the relevant documentation (AMD won't release the info)! I doubt I will have a promise RAID any time soon unless I manage to get a PCI card cheap! I could setup a test solution but I dont have spare 2TB drives either. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/599255 Title: dmraid fails to read promise RAID sector count larger than 32-bits -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
