Thanks Civileme, Robert and Greg, I must have clicked that button a hundred times, but not for this instance. I note in Civileme's how-to: ---- If the reader is wondering why no screenshots of the setting of mount points and file types, DiskDrake as part of Mandrake Control Center on a running system balks at this point, bringing down X and making the system go into a huddle that can be met only with Alt-sysrq-r, alt-sysrq-s, alt-sysrq-b. RAID must really be defined at install time. ---- Just to clarify: I have a running system, but with two disks in addition to that holding /, /usr, /home, /var and /tmp. These can be completely repartitioned when setting up raid - in this case just a RAID1 mirror of the complete disks. Is diskdrake going to choke in this circumstance? That machine is on another site, so I can't play with it for the moment. If it's going to screw up, then I better start reading about how to do it with the CLI. thanks again Brian -- Brian Parish <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
