samba - Oct 2007 - strangest thing with Raid1 and samba

Hi everyone, 

I am having the strangest thing on my debian server with raid1 configuration. 
Having it setup so that there are 2 partitions (both raid1) on one disk. 
On the first partition is debian/linux and the second the /home(this is about
270G.

I am unable to map a share to the second partition. 
The error is just the same as if you create a share and edit a wrong "path
=" option.
Samba log also say's it can't find the directory. 

If I use a directory on the first raid1 partition(MD0, 8G) it has no problems. 
But using the second raid1 partition(MD1, 270G) it seems it can't find it???

I even used and absoluut path like /dev/md1/home/share1, but without luck. 

Using raid to protect you're data would be the smartest thing for a file
server.

Any body had this problem? 
If people do not have this problem and it should work I would like to know to. 

Thanks in advance! 

Rgds Edo

All Samba sees is /home. It has no visibility into or knowledge of the 
underlying devices. So yes, it should work. I believe your problem is 
unrelated to having multiple RAID volumes. Based on your comments above, I 
suspect you simply haven't mounted it on /home.
