[Question #77249]: Ubuntu won't recognize Adaptec RAID array

 

New question #77249 on Ubuntu:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/77249

I am trying to figure out why Ubuntu won't recognize my RAID array, which I've never been able to use since I built my computer. The disks I have (1 TB each) are managed through an Adaptec controller card. When I first installed my computer, the array was detected as "Adaptec", but not long after, Ubuntu mysteriously stopped recognizing it, and started showing it as "Mass Storage Drive". Clicking "Mass Storage Drive" produces the message, Unable to Mount Location :: Can't find file. 

The controller boots properly at startup after it powers on each Serial Attached SCSI drive. No hardware issues that I know of. Array is detected as Optimal.

Here is output of 
ls /dev/disk/by-uuid -l
df -Th
cat /etc/fstab

==================== end =======================

I've not had any luck trying to resolve this on my own. What should I do now to solve this problem?
