Hi Vertago1, Yes the patch appeared to work, we merged it to the Ubuntu dev packages and it worked for some people. The sector size was still an issue in some setups as windows appeared to use both 512 and 1024 byte sectors sizes.
However once we hit the release we quite a few people then reporting non functioning RAID setups as the additional bytes I chose were obviously used for something else. Upstream dmraid doesn't accept patches. It seems that most people who start off booting using dmraid eventually migrate to a fully Linux Mdadm setup. Add in to that Mdadm being more feature complete and also supporting intel matrix raid metadata and dmraid is not really required any more except for a few odd chipsets. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/599255 Title: dmraid fails to read promise RAID sector count larger than 32-bits To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dmraid/+bug/599255/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
