I have a single hard drive that the OS is installed on and I have Sil raid card installed with two matching 500GB hdds set up in Raid 0 and formatted- they're completely empty. For whatever reason they are showing up as /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc and not as a single hard drive. I used fdisk to format both raid drives as Linux raid auto (fd) but I cannot mount either device and dmraid doesn't seem to want to work, what step am I missing?

When I installed 9.04 oh so long ago it seems like it recognized and automatically did everything that needed to be done, now I'm stuck.

dmraid Output

root@tripoli:~# dmraid -r

/dev/sdc: sil, "sil_biaebhadcfcb", stripe, ok, 976771072 sectors, data@ 0
/dev/sdb: sil, "sil_biaebhadcfcb", stripe, ok, 976771072 sectors, data@ 0

root@tripoli:~# dmraid -ay

RAID set "sil_biaebhadcfcb" already active

fdisk Output

root@tripoli:~# fdisk -l

I'm trying to mount a DVD video that has no kind of copy protection on it. It plays just fine in Windows and in DVD players. If I insert a regular data DVD it automounts just fine and I can browse it. I've installed regionfree, followed the RestrictedFormatsPlayingDVDs wiki, and fiddled with this thing for hours to no avail.

-- EDIT --

This is the error I get trying to load the dvd stream in mplayer from the CLI

manyxcxi@Portland:~$ mplayer dvd://

It appears to just be plain not seeing it as a valid disc.

I have a virtual machine that is set to PST that a couple of colleagues have in different time-zones.

If I wanted to change the time-zone to EST and GMT, what do I need to do?

How do you burn a DVD-DL iso from the command line?
