Bug Description
I have two 500GB hard drives in a software mirror array using nVidia's RAID controller build-into my P7N-SLI Platinum motherboard.
/dev/mapper contains the following:
[code]
crw-rw---- 1 root root 10, 60 2008-10-17 02:05 control
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 254, 0 2008-10-17 02:05 nvidia_cfffhefc
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 254, 1 2008-10-17 02:05 nvidia_cfffhefc1
[/code]
The RAID 1 device is comprised of two drives:
[code]
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 16 2008-10-17 02:04 /dev/sdb
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 17 2008-10-17 02:04 /dev/sdb1
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 32 2008-10-17 02:04 /dev/sdc
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 33 2008-10-17 02:04 /dev/sdc1
[/code]
Specifically, it's using /dev/sdb1 as the primary drive, and /dev/sdc1 as the secondary drive.
I am using a custom kernel due to a bug that I previously reported having to do with slow hard drive access. It's version is '2.6.26.5'.
Here's the output of lsmod:

Restarting dbus via the command, 'sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart' seems to fix the problem, but makes some other things buggy until I restart the computer. (I don't remember which things get buggy; it's kind-of random.)
In Removable Media (Places menu), I have the following entries:
Floppy Drive
WinVista
WinXP
20.5 GB Media
PERSONAL (incorrect entry for mirror)
PERSONAL (incorrect entry for mirror)
PERSONAL (the correct entry for the mirror - automounted via fstab)
The last 'PERSONAL' entry has a different, lighter drive icon, and is mountable, while clicking on the others produces the following error:
Unable to mount the volume 'PERSONAL'.
Details
mount: /dev/sdb1 already mounted or /media/PERSONAL_ busy
This makes sense, since it's the wrong partition to be mounting.
Here's my fstab entry for the mirror:
[code]
# PERSONAL
/dev/mapper/
[/code]
This has been an annoyance, since I often forget which drive to click on and get an error message instead of the drive's contents. Any suggestions would be well-appreciated.
Please let me know if you need any more details.
Thanks.
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.
