Dmesg has this information: md: bind<sda1> md: bind<sdb3> md: bind<sda2> md: bind<sda3> md/raid1:md126: active with 2 out of 2 mirrors md126: detected capacity change from 0 to 1994983948288 md: bind<sdb1> md126: unknown partition table md: bind<sdb2> md/raid1:md127: active with 2 out of 2 mirrors md127: detected capacity change from 0 to 268423168 md/raid1:md125: active with 2 out of 2 mirrors md125: detected capacity change from 0 to 5143252992 md127: unknown partition table md125: unknown partition table unknown partition tables? Trying to avoid the 4k disk problems, I used this to format the drives originally (which) I found in a gentoo bug: livecd ~ # fdisk -c -S 56 -u /dev/sda Command (m for help): p Disk /dev/sda: 2000.4 GB, 2000398934016 bytes 255 heads, 56 sectors/track, 273601 cylinders, total 3907029168 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0xab83344a Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 2048 526335 262144 fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/sda2 526336 10573823 5023744 fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/sda3 10573824 3907029167 1948227672 fd Linux raid autodetect I think my problem in the partition table is unknown? If so, what did I miss and how to recover? Also, still unsure if my fstab is correct. (see previous post). when I boot with the minCD all is there after I mount and go into chroot environment....
