Well, looks like it, yes. I ended up completely nulling out the HD's because dmraid kept refusing deleting both the RAID set (can't be done for DDF1) and the metadata (gave errors no matter what) and completely rebuilding the array again. Problem is resolved now. Although it continues to elude

hm. Since that is not the case, I'm rather suspicious of messing with my metadata ;-) I'll try that tonight, after backing up everything on the disks. And/or perhaps I'll try reproducing this in a VM. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is

Wait, is the raid bios intel, or adaptec? Adaptec uses DDF, so if you set it up with the adaptec bios, that would explain it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/742145 Title: dmraid

The mobo is a SuperMicro one with a very very weird option to choose (I kid you not) between Intel MSM or Adaptec BIOS for the SATA ports. However, neither have been active to my knowledge, certainly not in a RAID6 config, as neither support this. It is unlikely but possible I once configured a

It looks like at some point you had the Adaptec bios enabled and created a raid array named bigass and then disabled the bios, leaving the ddf metadata on the disks. Erasing it will resolve your issue. I will close this bug now. ** Changed in: dmraid (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete =

ddf is an ataraid metadata format. I believe that recently mdadm has added support for it as well, but it is not mdadm's native format and used to only be handled by dmraid. How did you build this raid array? Also you said you upgraded from lucid to natty, but this is not directly possible. Did

That debian bug is actually unrelated. It is about a set of disks that already is being used as part of a dmraid array and the person also wanted to use them as part of an mdadm array, which is an invalid configuration. In your case, you have an array that is using a format that is now
