Bug Description
I tried to setup a sata raid0 (jmicron on asus a5b) with ntfs formated in WinXP (I need this for dual booting). used dmraid to activate it and here is dmraid -r output:
rudlavibizon@
[sudo] password for rudlavibizon:
/dev/sda: jmicron, "jmicron_JRAID ", stripe, ok, 625082368 sectors, data@ 0
/dev/sdb: jmicron, "jmicron_JRAID ", stripe, ok, 625082368 sectors, data@ 0
But when I tried to mount it i got this:
rudlavibizon@
NTFS signature is missing.
Failed to mount '/dev/mapper/
The device '/dev/mapper/
Maybe you selected the wrong device? Or the whole disk instead of a
partition (e.g. /dev/hda, not /dev/hda1)? Or the other way around?
I posted <a href=http://
jmicron_JRAID\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (note the backslash for empty spaces in filename) but no partitions exist. He suggested that I run kpartx -a on the device and I did, after which the partition showed up and I succesfully mounted it. However, when I rebooted not only this partition was missing but one other (non-raid) disk with two ntfs partitions. I tried mounting manually and got this:
rudlavibizon@
fuse: mount failed: Device or resource busy
FUSE mount point creation failed
Unmounting /dev/sda1 ()
fuse: mount failed: Device or resource busy
FUSE mount point creation failed
Unmounting /dev/sda5 (Sattamassagana 2
Also I noticed this in /dev/mapper:
rudlavibizon@
1ATA_WDC_
1ATA_WDC_
1ATA_WDC_
1ATA_WDC_
1ATA_WDC_
control
jmicron_JRAID
Those wdc_wd2000's p1 and p5 could be mounted and when I tried kpartx -a again on jmicron_JRAID it segfaulted.

It looks like dmraid fails to recognize DOS (ntfs?) partitions as documented in /usr/share/ doc/dmraid/ KNOWN_BUGS
