I appreciate the feed back. Here is what I am getting. ~ # mdadm manage /dev/md4 --add /dev/hdj1 mdadm: An option must be given to set the mode before a second device is listed ~ # mdadm --add /dev/md4 /dev/hdj1 mdadm: add new device failed for /dev/hdj1 as 2: Invalid argument and for kicks :) ~ # mdadm manage --add /dev/md4 /dev/hdj1 mdadm: error opening manage: No such file or directory ~ # mdadm --add manage /dev/md4 /dev/hdj1 mdadm: error opening manage: No such file or directory Regards, Richard Broersma Jr. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
