If you're referring to the display in partman, I saw similar behavior,
which I attributed to a 'wrapping' problem. My 150G raid partition was
listed as some small number of MB on one line, and the correct size on
another. I'll note details when I re-install.
OK, in partman, once I've built the RAID devices, I get the following
output:
RAID1 device #0 - 131.4 MB Software RAID device
#1 131.4 MB
RAID1 device #1 - 993.7 MB Software RAID device
#1 159.9 GB
In case it matters, details of the big partition:
Cylinders 17-19457
Each cyl = 8,225,280 bytes
Total size: 159,907,668,480 bytes or 156,159,832+ blocks
Note that 159.9 GB MOD 2^32 ~= 993,878,527
Looks like maybe some sort of translation problem (32 bit byte size
value?) with large partitions?
