One recommendation when you replace disk: * A new one should be ABSOLUTELY EMPTY even of partition table. Connect the drive to another linux and erase it by: # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdX bs=1M Once I've replaced disk with already repartitioned one. My Cobalt was tried to create mirror with partitions it found and failed in some cases (looks like your situation) -- Oleg Volkov SHUNRA Software Ltd.
