I’m not sure why yast is not able to make sense of this hardware raid array.
it’s my old MS windows boot drive that is being re-assigned as storage. That’s right storage.
it was very reliable until recently as a striped SATA drive totaling 150 or so GB.
it was plugged to a gigabyte GA-7vt600 that had two SATA ports.
now i have gigabyte MA790X-UD4.
Anyway bios sees the array calling it functional.
but Yast shows something different.
/dev/sdb 74.53 GB WDC-WD800JD-00LS
/dev/sdb1 74.53 GB Linux native
/dev/sdc 76.69 GB HDS722580VLSA80
/dev/sda is my boot drive and there is no problem there.
i’m not totally sure, but i think this looks ok.
except i want to see some partition of 150 GB in there somewhere. right?
keeping in mind that this was an ntfs array for several years and now i don’t need to boot it anymore. just need to mount it.
anyway, here is the rest of what yast sees.

i don’t want to risk confusing the issue with yast so i’m not trying anything yet.
Thanks,
