Portending, the installer will always see the two physical disks... the question is, does it also see the /dev/mapper/ virtual raid disk? If not, and you want to see if you can find the metadata on the disk, then do this: To start, you may as well blow away any partitions on the disk. Then we want to zero out the last 2 MB of the disk so you can be sure that anything written there is going to have to do with the raid metadata. Do sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda seek=156299488. Repeat for each disk in the array. Then reboot and go into the bios and make sure that you have the raid functions enabled, but when you go into the raid set configuration screen, it should not recognize any raid sets. Then create one. Finally, look at the data on the last 2 MB again. -- Fasttrack Promise not recognized: No RAID disks https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/112402 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I found the meta data. I ACTUALLY found it. thanks for the zeroing hint Phillip, I completely zeroed both disks, to be sure, as there was all sorts of stuff I didn't know. I narrowed it down and found it located on /dev/sda at sector 156297345. After narrowing it down I ran : sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=outputfile skip=156297345 then : sudo hexdump -C outputfile outputfile.txt I started by dumping the last 5 megabytes of disk space and looking at it in a hex editor, then just counting how many bytes it was to the data. with that I figured, well, 512 bytes a sector, so some easy math to the meta data. Then I double checked by comparing the 5mb output to the one I concluded with.

[Bug 112402] Re: Fasttrack Promise not recognized: No RAID disks
This is really getting to me. I like to solve things! =P So, I've recovered the full size of the first drive. I had to use a tool from http://blog.atola.com/ (The Capacity Restore Tool), and since my drives are on a fakeraid controller, I had to use a desktop computer to do it (glad I'm out of warranty.) Still, no joy, so I've tried installing fedora, again, no joy. Then, last night while reading it over an Idea struck me: Should the data dump come from partitioned space? Because mine was from empty space, no data, no partition, no nothing. Should I have a partition in that space? If so how can I install Ubuntu, though. Maybe make a blank Partition for /, one for home, and one for swap before installation, reboot from live cd again and try again? Or an NTFS or FAT32 partition, Since I cant install onto RAID from ubuntu., Although I do have Partition Magic, so Maybe that will work. Well, I'm going to find out, I got all day and I just bought some Dark Roasted Sumatran Bold (EXCELLENT COFFEE - WARNING: ULCER ALERT =D) My computer desk is cleared off, my data is backing up as we speak, (Disks are not in RAID, JBOD in BIOS, though still detected as raid volumes in windows due to weird toshiba drivers. I'm gonna switch to Intels Matrix Storage Drivers, I tried 'em, they work and are stable, it IS an Intel fakeraid, re-branded as toshiba by drivers). Coffee is brewing, and I have a half dozen donuts in a box, fresh from my favorite shop. I'm gonna go all out. I've reformatted and changed raid more times than i remember in the last 2 weeks, whats another days effort. Sorry, kinda a rant, basically, I'm gonna try to do it with a partition where the data is. I'm going all out. It's a mission, maybe a foolish or pointless one, but I'm an obsessive compulsive and love solving problems, so I'm gonna do it for the thrill of the chase, and If I need some help, I may be back, and If this works, I WILL be back, because Ubuntu v6.06 WORKED on my RAID 0, and I want it back. =D. Post Script: I know, long rant, but I'm worked up and I love challenges, and windows doesn't provide them anymore, while I'm still relatively new to Linux and I get the thrill of it! WOOHOOO!

Ooooh, goody goody goody. I've found stuff. I just don't know what to make of it. I found all sorts of stuff in the output file, But its more than a megabyte before the end, which subtracting 2000 gave me. I tried with 156291488 in the skip field, or subtracting 1, and got a 5mb file with lots of stuff. I opened it in GHex, and found tons of stuff about Windows Driver, my hdd models and serial #'s, $Logical and $MAGNIA$, and Expansion BIOS Started, and also KRC created a RAID0.successfully. It's all at about offset 002EBF67 in GHex and onward, though there is other stuff at the beginning but its gibberish to me. Files Posted, sorry if its big. This begs the question, what did Toshiba do to this Intel RAID controller, and was it a BIOS update that did it. It worked back when I used the older BIOS, v1.70 and Ubuntu v6.06 methinks and below IIRC, I'm on BIOS v3.60, which is Vista Compliant =/, and maybe be the cause. If this be the case, I wonder how I can get my raid supported if at all. A lot of info in the output file was seemingly BIOS related, or maybe acpi related events. It's a blank NTFS partition. No OS. I might go back to BIOS v1.70 and try, cuz I WILL NOT use vista, xp/ubuntu is the way for me, and I wish I could get OpenSUSE on it too. I like ubuntu for Desktop stuff, and Suse for tinkering, and I will look for an old ubuntu v6.06 cd to try.

WOW, I'm all over the place! Ubuntu DOES recognize my RAID 0, just not fully. I rebooted to the live cd 1 more time and opened the computer browser, and see 149.0GB Volume: disk, right clicking it and selecting properties shows 149.0GB, File system NTFS. but the ubuntu installer and GParted see 2 disks (so does the alternate installer cd, ive tried.), and when I open it i get a bunch of files that should be deleted, but it was just a quick format to ntfs, so, and when i try to access a file it says file not found. But it DOES recognize the raid. I'm at a loss, and think I'm screwed. Either my raid support was dropped from the installer, my bios updates screwed me over, or I don't know what else I'm gonna try a few things, but I'm pretty much giving up.

Last Post, I give up. I have searched the ubuntu forums, google, and countless linux mailing lists and forums, and discovered, the few people who own Toshiba Qosmios that use linux, are all in the same boat. It worked in v6.06 and v6.10, and is broken at all points later. I'm going to try v6.10 and see if I can live without the latest goodies. If not I've got a few distros I'd like to try still, so maybe maybe. But I now know that Toshiba Qosmio Notebooks RAID 0 option is BROKEN in ubuntu after v6.10. I hope it comes back in v8.04.

Portending, that file appears to contain much the same data. It may be that the metadata is hidden by the bios when it hides this player thing. I would also suggest calling Toshiba support and asking them how to remove this player and recover the full disk space.

Portending, you need to adjust the skip= value to be correct for your hard disk. In your case it should be 156299488. If this is the value that you used, then I can not see any metadata in the output file. Would you be able to reformat the drives and recreate the array to help find the data? Antonio, your file is entirely empty as well, only containing zeroes.

[Bug 112402] Re: Fasttrack Promise not recognized: No RAID disks
Here's the file with the suggested skip value. I think I may know my problem. Toshiba Qosmios come with a instant on TV/DVD player. This is eating about 100MB of space off of sda (Disk 1). I have tried all sorts of things to recover this space. Every utility I have tried simply doesn't see it correctly (as 80GB), and the few that do report it correctly, report it incorrectly at the same time in a differnt part of the tool. I've tried testdisk, UBCD, Parted Magic Live CD, Gparted live cd... Any Suggestions? The second disk is identical except for size. the Serial #'s are even sequential. I have the correct values from the second disk (sector count, geometry, etc.), but when I try to modify disk 1, it will not save it. The Qosmio Player CD that Toshiba sent me, and that is available for download on their site, will not remove it because it's a different version (the cd) than what came installed on the computer.) They updated the version because a BIOS update broke the old version. The BIOS (Toshiba made BIOS), when I recreated the array, reports disk 1 as 79GB and disk 2 as 80GB. I'm beginning to think, unless I can find something to low-level edit and format the disk, I might have to wait until this spring when I upgrade the hard drives. That was probably information overload, but thanks for any help. ** Attachment added: hopefully correct http://launchpadlibrarian.net/11080388/correctedresults.tar.bz2 -- Fasttrack Promise not recognized: No RAID disks https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/112402 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
