Hello, ok done an install but before exiting chroot did fdisk -l and see error on my raid arrays


Code:

Disk /dev/md0: 100 MB, 100007936 bytes
2 heads, 4 sectors/track, 24416 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 8 * 512 = 4096 bytes

Disk /dev/md0 doesn't contain a valid partition table


Get same error on on all raid arrays, do i have to start again and recreate arrays?

cheers

carpman,

You can't do that with fdisk -l /dev/md0.
The partition tables are on the underlying drives. /dev/md0 is a logical entity comprised of a a number of partitions from (probably) differnet drives. It has no partition table of its own.
