Hello, 

I'm using the latest version of mkraid and tried to create a RAID1
device from hda1 and hdc1 (trying to set up a RAID1 boot device with
the recently mentioned LILO disk geometry config options).
Both partitions where set to type FD and the raidtab entry is fine, too.
Alas when trying to do the actual "mkraid /dev/md5" it complained that
/dev/hda1 was mounted, which it of course wasn't. After trying to force
the issue and some scratching of my head I unmounted the partitions
hda10 and hda11 (as well as hdc10 ;) and tried again. This time no
complaints besides the fact that mkraid found an ext2fs filesystem
on these partitions, that was to be expected and easily forced over.

So it seems that mkraid should consider more than the first four
characters of the actual partition name to distinguish partitions.

Dewa,

<CB>
