Comment 34 for bug 666577

As you wish. Attached are the files Examine, Detail and even Detail-Platform so you know specifically what I'm working with. Unfortunately, since my main RAID 5 array became corrupted, I decided it was time to consolidate both arrays into one so I won't be able to verify any fix of the code that may come about. You may be delighted to know that it is verified that dmraid does work with arrays not sharing drives with other arrays as it recognizes my single RAID 5 array flawlessly. So the bug is recognizing multiple arrays on shared drives. You also might be happy to hear that mdadm has difficulty with array names containing spaces. So that's a plus for dmraid. Also, the array shows in Disk Utility as inactive under Ubuntu (Live CD) but active under Fedora so there's that compatibility problem as well. But there you have it.

One thing that has me twitching about my output here is the Detail-Platform file where it states that the Max Disks is 6. I wonder, if someone were to utilize a SATA port multiplier, if it would register a higher maximum or if it would assume that the # of on-board ports = # of Max Disks? That's something to test when I get the time and money to do so.
