Proper number of partitions in RAID1?

'was playing around with 1.04b61 and see this, which is new for me..:

Disk /dev/sda: 750.1 GB, 750156374016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 91201 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks  Id System
/dev/sda1               1          66      530113+ 82 Linux swap
/dev/sda2             131       91118   730861110  83 Linux
/dev/sda4              67         130      514080  83 Linux


I have sda4 and sdb4... wasting around 500M of disk space..  Is that normal?   1.04b58 didn't produce more then two partitions each drive....

Re: Proper number of partitions in RAID1?

Did 1.04b61 make an additional raid0 device?  (/dev/md1) from /dev/sda4 /dev/sdb4

Another curious thing is the partition types.  /dev/sda2 and /dev/sda4 are ID '83 Linux'.
I would expect them to be partition type ID 'fd Linux raid autodetect'

Re: Proper number of partitions in RAID1?

I think I discovered why the partition type is '83 Linux'.

The version of mdadm v2.2 in D-link FW v1.03 doesn't have the
autodetect feature.

Code:

 # mdadm --version
mdadm - v2.2 - 5 December 2005

Just curious, what version of mdadm is in FW v1.04B61?

Nope.. only one raid device.  The other two partitions aren't used at all...

I'll have to check the mdadm version tonight..  'don't have immediate access.
