Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-disk-utility
Ubuntu 10.10
gnome-disk-utility: 2.30.1-2
Steps to reproduce:
1) Use mdadm to create a RAID array. Example:
Mount four unpartitioned, unformatted disks the do this:
sudo mdadm --create --verbose /dev/md0 --metadata 1.2 --level=10 --raid-devices=4 /dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd /dev/sde
2) Open palimpsest and format /dev/mdo as a volume (no partition table) and as an NTFS volume)
3) Mount /dev/mdo using "name" and using palimsest to mount it. (it mounts at /media/name)
4) Make the following entry in /etc/mdadm/
ARRAY /dev/md0 level=raid10 num-devices=4 metadata=01.02 name=ubuntu-
5) Make a mount entry in /etc/fstab for example:
UUID=23559D7F45
6) Reboot
7) When the system comes back up open palimpsest and notice that the partition map for /dev/mdo is hooped. Also palimsest no longer seems to know that /dev/md0 is mounted.
Please see the detailed description of this issue in the following forum thread. I am the forum member icestation.
I later installed
ntfsprogs:
Installed: 2.0.0-1ubuntu4
This did not help. Also, from the thread mentioned in the original bug report, this problem is affecting at least 2 people.
