I am asking for a friend of mine. As far as I know he is not using RAID in BIOS (will check) and he has only one SATA drive. But still fdisk -l is reporting it as nvidia_raid_member, subsequently not naming it properly sda, etc. Maybe a leftover from the disk being used in raid array, or he was playing with raid, don't know right now. How to eliminate this raid_member and would that have danger for the data on the drive? I would appreciate some help, googling didn't help so far (except finding this article). Thanks. Cheers.

I'm getting the same error message as rokur "ALERT! /dev/mapper/... does not exist. Dropping to shell!" I've double checked my menu.lst file and fstab files and they are setup according to the instructions as far as I can tell. Did you figure out why this was happing to rokur?

It worked well. Now I can dump Spark, which is fairly slow and kind of buggy. Thanks for the tip. It worked well. Now I can dump Spark, which is fairly slow and kind of buggy.

With my promise running Fakeraid (dmraid) I can have it rebuild in bios... However... that is really suboptimum, as it can't be running and utilized while it is rebuilding... Does anyone have an answer as to whether or not there is a way (manually is fine) to rebuild the dmraid array while running (assume raid 1 ofcourse, as a failed drive in raid 0 means SOL). Thanks @15: can you just rebuild in Bios?
