Thanks Phillip! That worked for me as well! I can now sudo mount /dev/dm-1 /media/RAID and read and write to it without breaking the array.
The issue where the RAID is shown as broken after a soft reboot is resolved as well. Some of the research that I did on this issue since my last post indicates that this HPA could have been created by the "Xpress recovery" feature of this motherboard. This is supposed to create a system restore partition at the end of a hard disk, much like is found on some laptops, and some sources on forums indicate that these partitions are commonly hidden by the BIOS using HPA. I was trying to find a way to use the feature to change which drive it uses to apply HPA. The funny thing is that this board does not support the feature at all when the RAID controller is turned on, so I could not even load the configuration utility to see if it had such an option. Other people with similar features on their motherboards might need to use this same workaround. Thanks again, Phillip, for your excellent detective work and problem solution. -- ich9R raid array not detected https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/219393 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
