15.0 kernel and gparted show ataraid filesystem not ext4 partition(s)
by EYo from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5GFKR)
This is an HP H8-1445 desktop PC from 2012, the BIOS is set to AHCI for storage options. Gparted has been "working" fine with 14.2/kernel 4.4.261, but with current I can't figure out how to create or resize partitions on the second drive because gparted only shows one big ataraid filesystem, as seen in the first attachment.
