Hi Heinz,

I noticed that using dmraid -b the lba sector capacities match but the serial numbers of the drives do not match other linux drive diagnostic tools. I am using promise controller with pdc metadata, 2 drive raid0. Could you have a look at it?

hdparm v6.3 using the identify command (-i and -I)

and also smartctl version 5.36 shows drive serial numbers:

/dev/hde lba sectors = 60058656, serial number = E18A3V2E

/dev/hdg lba sectors = 60036480, serial number = YKEYKLP4806

dmraid --version

dmraid version: 1.0.0.rc11-pre1 (2006.04.11)

dmraid library version: 1.0.0.rc11-pre1 (2006.04.11)

device-mapper version: 4.6.0

# dmraid -b

/dev/hde: 60058656 total, "1EA8V3E2"

/dev/hdg: 60036480 total, "YEKKYPL8460"

When using dmraid -b, the serial numbers do not match, the serial number string lengths are correct but the digits

are not in the correct order. Drive hde seems to be a simple transposition

of the first and second digits etc, but hdg does not.
