What do the partition tables look like? You may know this already, but you need to start the first partition on each disk at cylinder 1 instead of cylinder 0 to leave room for the disk label. Apparently, Ext2/3 leaves some free space at the start of partitions for this sort of thing, but RAID doesn't. S. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
