However, when booting from a primary physical (non-LVM) partition on the dmraid array, only that partition seems to mount properly; When I try to mount any of the LVM partitions, all I see in them is "lost+found." Naturally, the boot process fails at that point. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ataraid/1989 illustrates my situation. The two details not mentioned there: 1. When mounting any partition (LVM or not), I get 'cramfs: wrong magic' 2. I see the following when I do dmraid -ay [ 2881.836361] attempt to access beyond end of device [ 2881.836406] sda: rw=0, want=9767777280, limit=876773168 [ 2881.836361] attempt to access beyond end of device [ 2881.836406] sdb: rw=0, want=9767777280, limit=876773168 Can anyone offer help?
