Title:
  Incorrect size detected

Status in “dmraid” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I susspect that dmraid does not correctly detect the isw RAID 1
  (mirroring) volume size and maps the volume incorrectly.

  I configured it through the BIOS raid tool and windows 7  partitioned it with GPT to access all disk space. 
  The volume should be around ~3 TB windows 7 reports this correctly and can access all partitions. 

  I attached a few files that contain the various dmraid command line
  tool output's. and the dmesg log where the device-mapper reports that
  the size is invalid.

  As you can see in parted 'parted -l' it crached on the volume access
  so i could not get any more info.  gparted only showed a volume size
  of 746.52Gb.

  `lsb_release -rd`
