patrick@Ubuntu-Desktop:~/linux-ldm-0.0.8/test$ ldd ldminfo
	not a dynamic executable

That's your problem. You are running x86_64 (64bit) but ldminfo is a 32bit binary so you won't be able to run it unless you install the 32bit library on your machine first. Or recompile it again.

Code:

make

That doesn't sound fun. What is my best option? I didn't compile it to begin with, here is a snippit that the document I linked to:

Simply extract the downloaded archive (tar xvjf linux-ldm-0.0.8.tar.bz2), go into it (cd linux-ldm-0.0.8) and change to the test directory (cd test). You will find the precompiled (i386) ldminfo utility there. NOTE: You will not be able to compile this yourself easily so use the binary version!

Fire up synaptic and look for ia32-libs package and install the 32bit library for your machine, http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/ia32-libs. Then, try to run that command again.

Thanks, those libraries allowed the command to run, but it something didn't go right:

Code:

patrick@Ubuntu-Desktop:~/linux-ldm-0.0.8/test$ sudo ./ldminfo --dump /dev/sda
ldm_parse_privhead(): Expected PRIVHEAD version 2.11, got 2.12. Aborting.
ldm_validate_privheads(): Cannot find PRIVHEAD 1.
Something went wrong, skipping device '/dev/sda'
patrick@Ubuntu-Desktop:~/linux-ldm-0.0.8/test$

Do I need to wipe this installation and install the 32-bit version of Ubuntu? The only reason I chose the 64-bit version was because of my processor (Q6600).

Same thing with the Ubuntu 8.10 32-bit..

Code:

patrick@Ubuntu-Desktop:~/Desktop/linux-ldm-0.0.8/test$ sudo ./ldminfo --dump /dev/sdd
ldm_parse_privhead(): Expected PRIVHEAD version 2.11, got 2.12. Aborting.
ldm_validate_privheads(): Cannot find PRIVHEAD 1.
Something went wrong, skipping device '/dev/sdd'
patrick@Ubuntu-Desktop:~/Desktop/linux-ldm-0.0.8/test$

This is beggining to feel like a lost cause.

Hello,
Sorry to dig this post but I need some help.
@lodrsc, could you post what's the fix?

I'm stuck with that

ldm_parse_privhead(): Expected PRIVHEAD version 2.11, got 2.12. Aborting.

I'm trying to mount my spanned drives. if there's a different way to do that other than using the manual here http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Docum...stems/ntfs.txt , let me know.
any answer would be great.

thanks
