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 in numerical order:
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
In the GUI the are as follows:
1 - /dev/mapper/pdc_jcchiiabp1 / primary / NTFS / 18.63 GB
2 - /dev/mapper/pdc_jcchiiabp2 /11.22 GB / extended
5 - /dev/mapper/pdc_jcchiiabp5 / ext4 / 4.66 GB
6 - /dev/mapper/pdc_jcchiiabp6 / ext4 / 4.66 GB
7 - /dev/mapper/pdc_jcchiiabp7 / linux-swap / 1.91 GB
3 - /dev/mapper/pdc_jcchiiabp3 /primary / NTFS / 44.70 GB
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 to 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
