Well, I thought so too. Maybe dm-* are a bit less normal.

But the total size of both devices (~ 52 GB) is not equal to 250 GB 
as it should be. 

And looking at the snippet from /var/log/messages, I get the feeling 
that the kernel can't cope. Either because it does not know how to, 
or maybe a hardware problem. But I could be totaly off here.
