If you install a new system, only put one drive in. Once everything works, put the sceond drive in (while everything is up and running). It will immediately begin to duplicate the drive onto the new drive. If one drive fails, take it out (with the system up and running. Whenever you put a new drive in, it will be overwritten with the drive that is still running - regardless of which bay it is in. ATTENTION: if your system is *not* up and running, and you replace a defect drive with the RAID box switched off, it will be fairly random which drive gets reconstructed from which after switching it on! -> ALWAYS swap drives with the system up and running Horst _______________________________________________ Gpcg_talk mailing list [email protected] http://ozdocit.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gpcg_talk
