HD not recognized after FC12 upgrade

[quantumrex]

I recently upgraded my machine from Fedora 10 to FC12 using the pre-upgrade manager, and everything else works fine, but I've managed to lose one of my hard drives in the process. It worked fine under FC10, and is still usable under Windows (it is an ntfs volume,) but FC12 fails to recognize it.

I get the following errors at boot:

ERROR: nvidia: wrong # of devices in RAID set "nvidia_dfdiifcb" [1/2] on /dev/sdb
ERROR: removing inconsistent RAID set "nvidia_dfdiifcb"
ERROR: no RAID set found
failed to stat() /dev/mapper/no
failed to stat() /dev/mapper/raid
failed to stat() /dev/mapper/sets

The device itself is not in an array, and raid is disabled in the BIOS. The drive was originally part of a raid0 array, but it has been formatted several times since then.

I looked it up under gparted, and it can see the partitions on the disk, but is unable to locate them in /etc/mtab.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

I don't know the answer to your problem. But I note that there is a similar unanswered post on the forum.

When I google for "removing inconsistent RAID set", I find links about a bug in "dmraid".

Did you solve this problem?

I did finally manage to solve my problem. Using dmraid -E, I erased the metadata for the volume. It didn't harm the drive, and now Fedora recognizes it as it should.

Thanks for your help.

I am having the same issue. I have reverted back to FC10 because I was unable to get FC12 to function properly. I appreciate this thread, and will try the suggested solution and see what happens. Thank you very much.

You might want to mark your thread as SOLVED for the good of any and all. :*)

Please let's try to be nice. That kind of remark does nobody any good. A positive environment is more productive.
