Lack of understanding of initramfs? :) it's new and many distros don't use it yet, so I can understand a bit of confusion. Andy, you might want to look at <http://linux-raid.osdl.org/index.php/RAID_Boot> for the initramfs setup I use, based around uClibc and busybox. It can fsck-and-mount root stored on RAID+LVM or on LVM alone, and with small adjustments should be able to boot RAID alone with no LVM involved (I'll make those changes shortly, I just haven't needed them myself). -- `We're sysadmins. We deal with the inconceivable so often I can clearly see the need to define levels of inconceivability.' --- Rik Steenwinkel - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
