    N00B + RAID1 + Final exams = kicked out of uni + no RIAD1



    have a 320Gb IDE with Kubuntu 7.10 and am now wanting to attach a RIAD1 array to store my all the work i havn't done yet.

    I have 2 SATA 80Gb disks attached to a Promise RIAD controller in Mirror mode.

    I'm not posting here because i cannot be bothered to check the Wiki or other posts....but am not really getting anywhere. Through stupidity or not who knows.

    I have added some lines as you can see and am not really sure what i am doing as it has not worked.

    I really cannot figure out what to do i have tried GParted after installing dmRAID and found it was not doing the job so did tried commands in the terminal.

    There are so many sites with so much and i am not sure which parts are relevent and am prob just messing things up.

    Please help

      Code:
      Disk /dev/sd* doesn't contain a valid partition table
      This might mean that the disks are unformatted, partitioned in a way, that they cannot be read or attached wrong.

      does gparted show any partitions in them?

        Yeah gparted show partitions on both disks. Only one massive 80Gb ext.3 partition.

        Do you know what else it could be?
