Thanks for the reply. Should I be using a different version/release that would work better for RAID? If so, pls let me know. As far as your info requests, see below.

thanks.

OK, so RAID support is in the kernel and you've got the required modules loaded. What about your IDE drive? IIRC, you arn't using one of the kernels with IDE built-in, and it doesn't look like you're loading any IDE modules based on the above.


Can you access the low-level /dev/hdX devices that make up your RAID?

What does "fdisk -l /dev/hdc" and "fdisk -l /dev/hdd" show?

Are you *REALLY* trying to build a RAID5 device with two partitions on the same drive (/dev/hdd1 & /dev/hdd2 in your example raidtab, which go along with /dev/hdc1)? If so, I'm not sure that will work, and it wouldn't be recommended in any case...
