Hi people,
  Well, now I'm confused.  I've got my SATAII disks in, configured the
container in the Intel BIOS, set it up as RAID 0, can see it in Windows,
but not sure what's going on in Linux.

I've run --

 > dmraid -s

*** Group superset isw_cibehjbdcg
--> Subset
name   : isw_cibehjbdcg_RAID0
size   : 1250275846

In short, I'm not really sure what's going on. Nor do I know how to
access the conatiner?
Why am I getting the "dos" error?
The partitions are on the container are:
P1 48GB > NTFS
P2 48GB > NTFS
P3 100MB > ext3
Logical container
L1 100GB > FAT32
L2 300GB > NTFS
L3 97GB > ext3
L4 3GB > swap

Thanks for any help people can provide. H

hi H I may not be able to help much but whats the output of ls -la /dev/mapper you should see all the partions detected at boot-up. I use dmraid on this box and it just works :-) from the initscripts and an fstab entry, my hardware is different from yours but dmraid -l says yours should also just work. :-)
