Trying to mount Sata Raid 0 Drive containing Windows partition

Asked by wws420

Hello

This is the first time I have used Launchpad and I hope there is a Raid expert who can help me. I would like to mount my hardware controlled Raid 0 disks. I have been through ubuntu community documentation, ubuntu forums, and google searches all without being able to resolve this issue.

I´ve tried to follow this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto
But I was unsuccessful. It seems I have something different going on.

I am running Ubuntu Release 8.04 (Hardy)
                               Kernel Linux 2.6.24-16-generic
                               Gnome 2.22.3

Output of dmraid -r # --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

/dev/sdc: isw, "isw_dgjfiifhie", GROUP, ok, 72303838 sectors, data@ 0
/dev/sdb: isw, "isw_dgjfiifhie", GROUP, ok, 72303838 sectors, data@ 0

Output of dmraid -ay # ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RAID set "isw_dgjfiifhie_RAID DRIVE" already active

Output of lspci | grep -i raid#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

00:1f.2 RAID bus controller: Intel Corporation 82801ER (ICH5R) SATA Controller (rev 02)
02:04.0 RAID bus controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6410 ATA133 RAID controller (rev 06)

If there is any additional information that I need to provide please just ask. Hopefully you will be able to provide me with some guidance.

Thank you

Wyatt Smith

Problem appears to be related to the RAID Volume Label

From the from the command dmraid -ay
and its output
RAID set "isw_dgjfiifhie_RAID DRIVE" already active

The Raid Volume Label is actually RAID DRIVE. Change the label to this volume so it does not contain a space should solve mounting issue. To do this you should boot back into Windows and use the INTEL RAID DRIVER TOOL and change to volume label to something simple like ¨RAID¨

After this you should be able to mount the drive from linux.
