Two hard-disks have been assigned to a striping raid-array. A dump of the first (MBR)-sector shows that sba has a valid partition table (ending with 55 AA hex), although fdisk sees an "invalid flag 0xffda of partition table 6", and does not recognize the boot status of sda6: /dev/sda1 * 1 18079 145219536 f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/sda5 1 9 72229+ 83 Linux /dev/sda6 ? 179538 255774 612363621+ 3d Unknown The first sector of sdb does not contain a partition table (all zeroes), nor does is end with 55 AA. I suppose this has nothing to do with either SuSE or fdisk, but everything with the bios-built-in raid-configuration utility. Under SuSE 10.2 all went well and the raid array has been partitioned as proposed by the SuSE install program (well, more or less): /dev/mapper/nvidia_dbbcaejb_part5 on /boot type ext2 (rw,acl,user_xattr) /dev/mapper/nvidia_dbbcaejb_part7 on / type xfs (rw) /dev/mapper/nvidia_dbbcaejb_part8 on /home type xfs (rw) But SuSE 10.3 does not see this raid array and when examining things, I noticed the following differences (both investigations have been done, starting from the rescue-mode from the install-DVD only). dmraid -s under 10.2: *** Set name : nvidia_dbbcaejb size : 290447872 stride : 128 type : stripe status : ok subsets: 0 devs : 2 spares : 0 dmraid -s under 10.3: *** Set name : nvidia_difeadeg size : 145225984 stride : 128 type : mirror status : ok subsets: 0 devs : 2 spares : 0 dmsetup -ls under 10.2: dm version OF [16384] dm names OF [16384] nvidia_dbbcaejb_part8 (253, 4) nvidia_dbbcaejb_part7 (253, 3) nvidia_dbbcaejb_part6 (253, 2) nvidia_dbbcaejb (253, 0) nvidia_dbbcaejb_part5 (253, 1) dmsetup -ls under 10.3: dm version OF [16384] dm names OF [16384] nvidia_difeadeg (253, 0) And now for the difficult part: please, Santa, can you correct this bug - please? ;-) Jos. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
