I want to be able to mount my NTFS RAID 0 array at startup. I can get it to mount fine if I use dmraid -ay, and then mounting the device in /dev/mapper. However, I've used dmsetup to create the dmtab file, but the devices that it creates in /dev/mapper aren't correct. One of the devices in /dev/mapper says it's not a good block device and the other says there are too many file systems mounted when I try to mount them without running dmraid.

My dmtab file looks like:
Code:

pdc_ejfeffaj1: 0 482496147 linear 253:0 63
pdc_ejfeffaj: 0 482509312 striped 2 128 8:0 0 8:16 0


Also, I'd like to be able to mount this so that any user can have access to it, so what sort of configuration do I need to do to mount it as a user accessible drive?

Would it be best to simply put the "dmraid -ay" in an initialization script somewhere? If so, then what script would be best?

Thanks for any help.

If your not booting off the raid you could put dmraid -ay in local.start or something like that

if you want to boot the raid, dmraid will have to

be in initrd (initramsys ) you do not need to setup nodes, dmraid calls dmsetup to do that
(or it should)


I believe genkernel --dmraid (will make the proper init for you).
