Fakeraid doesn't show up in /dev/mapper

0

I have the following setup:

1 256GB SSD / Win8-Ubuntu 13.04 UEFI Dualboot
2x1TB in RAID 1 (Detected and working)
2x4TB in RAID 1 (Not Detected not showing up in /dev/mapper)

The problem is that I just recently added another two drives that are 4TB in RAID 1 but they aren't detected in Ubuntu as one drive.

I know it works because Windows detected my new 4TB RAID 1 just fine, here's a screenshot via one of the raid disk utilities that came with my motherboard (fakeraid).

Detected in Windows 8

This doesn't look like a partition table

My 4TB drives /dev/sdd and /dev/sde should be recognized as ddf_raid_member but they're nowhere to be found here...

blkid -p /dev/sdd

this command gives no output

How can I get Ubuntu to recognize my newly made 4TB RAID 1?

Fakeraid on dual-boot is kind of a nightmare. You'll likely be better off with mdraid than dmraid on the Ubuntu side, but it will still take a bit of work. Here's a[n archived] link to a good set of tips from someone who was able to sort it out for Ubuntu 12.10 and Win7 x64.
