Thank for your reply, Mr. Jordan.

But...

ubu...@ubuntu:~$ sudo fdisk -l

Unable to seek on /dev/sda

However,

ubu...@ubuntu:~$ sudo dmraid -r
/dev/sdb: nvidia, "nvidia_acajefec", stripe, ok, 488397166 sectors, data@ 0
/dev/sda: nvidia, "nvidia_acajefec", stripe, ok, 488397166 sectors, data@ 0

So do you have an idea for how to make fdisk see my RAID array?

Thank you very much.
