What was the setting of the disks under the RAID controller - JBOD? RAID0? Pls. tell us so that we can learn from your experience. Also, did you run the fdisk again after disabling the RAID controller? What you are experiencing below should not occur if the hard disk was fdisk'd as a "stand alone" disk. > Now the problem is, the OS is not detecting the partitions > automatically when the box is rebooted. fdisk tool shows the > partitions, but "cat /proc/partitions" doesnt have this.

On which hard disk partitions are /boot /root installed? /dev/hda? What mount points are assigned to /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2? -- Arun Khan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
