Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: dmraid
I have an Asus m2n-sli motherboard with nvidia raid chipset. I have
setup my 2 seagate harddrives to mirror in the raid setup. I am
dualbooting between windows xp and feisty. I installed successfully
using the fakeraid howto. Here are some outputs of commands to get an
idea of my layout.

And now for a description of the bug. After I did my install. I
rebooted off the livecd and went about installing all my applications,
configuring my settings ,etc. Rebooted a couple of times and everything
was fine. Then I rebooted once and all of a sudden I'm booted into the
same environment I was in post install and none of my files are there?
I'm confused as to what could have happened. I reboot again and I boot
back into my setup that I previously had. Right now it's 50/50 as to
which installation I will boot to when I reboot. I am at a loss for how
this is occuring. Windows is behaving properly in the mirror, and all
the commands seem to point to the mirror working in linux yet it seems
that there are 2 seperate installs and no mirroring taking place.
Please let me know if you need any clarification or any more output from
commands. I am at a loss for how this is occuring.
