Yeah, that'd work, or you could have created it with both devices, but=20 specifing hdf6 *first*: mdadm -C /dev/md3 -n2 -l1 /dev/hd[fh]6 As for md1, I'm not sure what to make of that. I'd be a little wary of it, once the array is created/started the superbloc= k=20 must be written, so I'm worried about why the kernel thought it wasn't ther= e.=20 Probably nothing though, I've had partitions kicked out of arrays before,=20 even though they go back in fine. =2D-=20 Mike Williams -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
