Well, I am guessing that your setup is: /dev/sdaX+/dev/sdbX -> /dev/md0 -> /dev/loop/0 -> /home If so, then things should still work normally. Check that your partitions are still of type 0xfd (linux raid autodetect). If not, please describe how your system is setup is a bit more detail. Specifically: 1. The relevant output from dmesg. 2. The contents of /proc/mdstat 3. The output of "losetup -a" -Richard -- [email protected] mailing list
