Yikes! That will still break the mirror. Or worse, give you two divergent mirror members which the RAID implementation *doesn't* recognize are different, and scramble the filesystem. RAID works at the disk block level, and is unaware of filesystem semantics. The OS and filesystem implementation are unaware of what RAID does. The OS/FS may write filesystem blocks in *completely different* places, despite you giving similar inputs. You could pick one drive, clean that drive, reinsert that drive, and tell the RAID implementation to re-mirror from that drive to the other one. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
