Hi all

I have a nvraid array with a lot of files on it, that I need to keep. It has 40GB free which I want to use for Ubuntu, and I've already partitioned all the things it needs. When I boot the latest livecd and install dmraid, it recognises my array but it recognises it twice. It makes the following:

/dev/mapper/nvraid-ynaogunt
/dev/mapper/nvraid-ynaogunt/nvraid-ynaogunt1
/dev/mapper/nvraid-ynaogunt/nvraid-ynaogunt2
/dev/mapper/nvraid-ynaogunt/nvraid-ynaogunt3
/dev/mapper/nvraid-ynaogunt/nvraid-ynaogunt4
/dev/mapper/nvraid-ynaogunt/nvraid-ynaogunt5
/dev/mapper/nvraid-ynaogunt/nvraid-ynaogunt6
/dev/mapper/nvraid-ynaogunt/nvraid-ynaogunt7
/dev/mapper/nvraid-ynaogunt1
/dev/mapper/nvraid-ynaogunt2
/dev/mapper/nvraid-ynaogunt3
/dev/mapper/nvraid-ynaogunt4
/dev/mapper/nvraid-ynaogunt5
/dev/mapper/nvraid-ynaogunt6
/dev/mapper/nvraid-ynaogunt7

With this I cant get through the installer because it will puke out errors about duplicate mount points etc.

I can however, using dmraid -ay -p, make it so it only detects the first set. Then I can get through the installer. Until at the end, in the summary, it tells me it will format:

/dev/mapper/nvraid-ynaogunt
/dev/mapper/nvraid-ynaogunt
and /dev/mapper/nvraid-ynaogunt

This scares me. I need to preserve my other partitions so I don't want it screwing anything up. I know I should but I don't have the money to backup 500GBs.....

What do I need to do?
