Surely "dmraid -r -c -c" shows "/dev/hda:pdc:pdc_cgbejije:stripe:ok:1563014125:0" on this machine. ("No Software RAID disks" on another machine)
What exactly did you that caused the partitions from /dev/hda to become removed? This seems to be the most serious problem that happened.
Ok, this is a detailed procedure what I did. (1) Boot SUSE-10.1Alpha5 DVD and select "new installation". (2) YaST scans and detects devices, set clocks etc. (3) YaST suggests as described previously ("Create extended raid partition..") in "Installation settings". (4) Follow "partitioning" link and select "Create custom partition setup" -> "custom partitioning (for experts)". (5) YaST (Expert Partitioner) shows RAID partitions as I described. (6) Select "/dev/mapper/pdc_cgbejije" and push "delete" (with confirm). (7) Then YaST (Expert Partitioner) shows proper partitions as I think; "/dev/hda1, /dev/hda2, /dev/hda3". (8) Select "/dev/hda2" and push "edit". (9) Select to format with ext3 and set the mount point to "/". (10) Push "Accept" to finish partitioning (YaST warns that there is no swap, push "no".). (11) Return to "Installation settings". "partitioning" section shows "Remove raid pdc_cgbejije", "Format /dev/hda2 (15.6GB) for / with ext3". (12) Push "accept" to start installation. Some of confirmation appears. (13) YaST shows a message "Deleting device mapper /dev/mapper/pdc_cgbejije" with progress bar (0%). (14) Device mapper deletion does not proceed anymore. Push CTRL+ALT+DEL to reset. (15) After reboot, all of partitions are disappered. No partition can show on SUSE 10.1/10.2-alpha5 rescue system, other partitioning tools (just like PartitionMagic). For recovering, use a partition salvaging utility or edit partition table manually. None of data seems to be destroyed. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
