| |
I've got this problem with 2.6 kernels, namely I can't use my RAID partitions as they are not detected at boot. I've tracked the issue to what I believe is auto geometry resizing.
With 2.6 cfdisk shows:
hdc1 Boot, NC Primary OnTrackDM6 33814,13 Pri/Log Free Space 26205,75
Whereas with 2.4 there's no resizing:
hdc1 Primary Linux swap 254,99 hdc5 Logical Linux raid autodetect 98,71 hdc6 Logical Linux raid autodetect 254,99 hdc7 Logical Linux raid autodetect 2599,19 hdc8 Logical Linux raid autodetect 56812,01
The disk in question used to be jumpered to 32 GB a few years ago, then treated with ontrack to get the full capacity. Later the jumper was removed and the disk was partitioned in Linux 2.4 as shown above. Now, 2.6 even with auto geometry resizing not compiled in, insists on resizing the disk. Any ideas how to get around the problem?
