Warning!
The kernel was unable to re-read the partition table on /dev/md/0

computer before doing anything with /dev/md/0.

I think you may want to check your syntax.
It should be /dev/md0

Two things to note:

1) I did not set the device - that's what the installer used.

2) Looking in /dev, md0 does not exist. /dev/md/0 does.

Are you using mdadm? (It sound it, but I don't know what else is out there.) If so, just as a point of reference, I set mine up with mdadm, and it set it to /dev/md0. I just did a "ls" of /dev/md* and got:

brw-rw----  1 root disk 9,  0 2001-06-02 14:23 /dev/md0
brw-rw----  1 root disk 9,  1 2001-06-02 14:23 /dev/md1

brw-rw----  1 root disk 9,  9 2001-06-02 14:23 /dev/md9

I don't know if this helps, but it would lead me to believe that the problem is that somehow it's working with the wrong device (/dev/md/0), but that's just a guess.

/dev/md/0 is pretty normal if you use devfsd.
