I am not sure if the filesystem was changed from the first installation - 
probably not, because when erasing the disks the default is Mac OS Extended 
(Journaled) - the current filesystem - and we generally go with defaults. In 
both cases, we are using the two disks together as a mirrored RAID set.

Thanks,

Brian
