Is the partition type set to FD?
That's the problem, but now I'm having trouble fixing it.
md1 has a single partitions md1p1
[drew@funGus ~]$ sudo fdisk /dev/md1
No; you need to set the partition type of the underlying physical partitions on /dev/sda or wheverever your data really lives. This is what is picked up
eg on my machine I have 4 disks in a RAID5 thus: md3 : active raid5 sdd4[3] sdc3[2] sdb2[1] sda1[0] 1465151808 blocks level 5, 64k chunk, algorithm 2 [4/4] [UUUU]
So the raw partitions are sda1 sdb2 sdc3 sdd4
If I look at sda:
# fdisk -l /dev/sda
Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 60801 488384001 fd Linux raid autodetect
That's where the "fd" needs to be.
