partitioning failure on dell 2550

[Mike Horansky]

Guten Tag,


I must be overlooking something simple, but rcS seems to be unhappy
with my disk_config:

<><><>
# <type> <mountpoint> <size in mb> [mount options]     [;extra options]

disk_config sda

primary  /                 3024         rw,errors=remount-ro    ; -j ext3
logical  swap              500          rw                      ;    
logical  /tmp              4000         rw                      ; -j ext3
logical  /var              3000         rw                      ; -j ext3
logical  /home             2000         rw                      ; -j ext3
logical  /mirror           65000-       rw                      ; -j ext3
logical  /licensed         20000        rw                      ; -j ext3
<><><>

Below is what appears to be the relevant error:

<><><>
Attached devices:

The number and sizes of partitions don't match what was in my file. Is
some other file being read by accident?

The Dell has four 36-gb drives in a RAID5, so there should be about
102 gb of space available. I added aacraid to DEFAULT.mod to get the
device recognized.

...has the rcS.log and other logs from the attempt.
