Description of problem: I think this is more a question then a bug. After doing a clean install of Fedora 13 on a system with two disks in a raid1 configuration on a Fasttrak Tx2000 firmware/bios fake raid controller (yeah I know that's cheap), the file system is mounted on /dev/mapper/pdc_efihghgip1. Is this supposed to be so? I mean, when I look at the output of the dmevent_tool: dmevent_tool -mu pdc_efihghgip2 not monitored pdc_efihghgip1 not monitored pdc_efihghgi not monitored I see that both disks are being displayed as pdc_efihghgip1 and pdc_efihghgip2, but what is then pdc_efihghgi ? Is that the actual raid device? And is it not supposed to be mounted instead? It is not clear to me how things work in this case and I searched for more information but failed to find any. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dmraid-events-logwatch-1.0.0.rc16-12.fc13.i686 dmraid-events-1.0.0.rc16-12.fc13.i686 dmraid-1.0.0.rc16-12.fc13.i686 How reproducible: Allways Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install F13 on fasttrak mirrored array. 2. 3. Actual results: / mounted on /dev/mapper/pdc_efihghgip1 Expected results: / mounted on /dev/mapper/pdc_efihghgip ? Additional info:
