Hi Dirk, I let the raid complete initializing over night then rebooted. This is the output I get from dmesg after a reboot

fdisk /dev/sdb The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 121583. There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024, and could in certain setups cause problems with: 1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO) 2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK) Command (m for help): p Disk /dev/sdb: 1000.0 GB, 1000056291328 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 121583 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 1 121583 976615416 83 Linux Seems to work fine... I've been told that non of the "nix" os's ship with a module for this card, so I can't do a live boot, as I need to compile the module for the card. I'm not sure where to go from here, I don't really want to run up a windows box just to act as a NAS :( Cheers Ad -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dirk Gfroerer Sent: Wednesday, 5 December 2007 11:08 PM To: leaf-user@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [leaf-user] HighPoint RocketRAID 174x (need help in formating/mounting the RAID) Adam Niedzwiedzki wrote: > Ohh sorry should have noted that > > I tried both ways.. > nas# mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb /mnt > mount: Mounting /dev/sdb on /mnt failed: No such device > and > nas# mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /mnt > mount: Mounting /dev/sdb1 on /mnt failed: No such device well, "no such device" is a completely different message than "Invalid argument". Are you sure your kernel module was loaded at that point in time? Just because /dev/sdbX exist does not mean there's a kernel module listening behind them. What happens if you start "fdisk /dev/sdb" ? Have you tried attaching a CD / DVD drive and booted a rescue system or a live Linux system (e.g. *ubuntu, Fedora Live CD, etc.)? Does it work with them? When loading the module for your card does it report on these distributions also the I/O errors about /dev/sdc, etc.?
