Thanks for the help, Ivo dd zeros over the first few MB of each softraid host partitions (use the 'rsdX' devices), reboot. Softraid? There ain't no softraid here! Probably killing a fly with a rapid-action shotgun, but should work. Unfortunately, your reports are almost completely devoid of hard info, so its entirely possible you are doing things wrong. Nick.

Thanks for the help, Ivo I'm guessing you need to 'bioctl -d something' so a raid volume doesn't have the partition in question open. Ken
