You can not verify a raid like that. On any decent controller, the drives are marked as belonging to the array, and they can not be used as a single drive in another pc. Only way is to disable one drive, and see if you can still access the data. > Learn how to rebuild the array when you put a new drive back into the > degraded RAID array.

Indeed a very important step. RTFM! My controller gives an audible warning. The above is also valid for backups. Do verify that the backup is usable, and that it can be restored. -- Havoc ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Havoc's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5064 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32236 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
