Bug Description

I susspect that dmraid does not correctly detect the isw RAID 1 (mirroring) volume size and maps the volume incorrectly.

I configured it through the BIOS raid tool and windows 7 partitioned it with GPT to access all disk space.
The volume should be around ~3 TB windows 7 reports this correctly and can access all partitions.

I attached a few files that contain the various dmraid command line tool output's. and the dmesg log where the device-mapper reports that the size is invalid.

As you can see in parted 'parted -l' it crached on the volume access so i could not get any more info. gparted only showed a volume size of 746.52Gb.

`lsb_release -rd`

That one is for promise, and this is for intel. I think I actually could fix the intel issue, but Trusty has switched to using mdadm to manage intel arrays instead of dmraid anyhow, so there doesn't seem to be a point.
