Booted Gparted LiveCD 0.5.2-9. It recognized my striped drive just fine although I couldn't access or get details of the NTFS partitions.
I got the following partitions listed: 1 - /dev/mapper/pdc_jcchiiabp1 / primary / NTFS / 18.63 GB 2 - /dev/mapper/pdc_jcchiiabp2 /11.22 GB / extended 3 - /dev/mapper/pdc_jcchiiabp3 /primary / NTFS / 44.70 GB 4 - (there ain't none) 5 - /dev/mapper/pdc_jcchiiabp5 / ext4 / 4.66 GB / corrupted or not formatted 6 - /dev/mapper/pdc_jcchiiabp6 / ext4 / 4.66 GB / corrupted or not formatted 7 - /dev/mapper/pdc_jcchiiabp7 / linux-swap / 1.91 GB / corrupted or not formatted Partitions 2 and 5,6,7 are reported as having 0 free space before and after. They should fill up the allocated space nicely. Partitions 5,6,7 obviously are not formatted (correctly) as the installer crashed at that point last time. If formatted correctly, I think I can finish the Lucid installation as planned, so I decided to format them as ext4, ext4 and linux-swap. Three actions were lined up and then applied. Alas, that crashed right at the first action. I couldn't retrieve the details of log, but I saw an error that the requested device wasn't found in /dev/mapper. After that Gparted became unresponsive and I stopped it. Couldn't start it again (it hung) and neither the rest of the apps on the desktop. Got a terminal session but not much fun in that either, due ot lack of cli-skills. Machine wouldn't reboot correctly; it got stuck in a loop of I/O error messages. Gave it a hard reset. I can do this again and get better information from logs if you want, but plz give me the commands you need output from. I'll be writing down whatever and re-type it here (oh the days of sneaker networks and chinese interfaces :-) ) unless you help me mount a usb-drive and copy the output you need onto that. cheers Tom -- Gparted does not list dmraid devices https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/554582 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
