Ian, thanks for pointing out my mistake on RAID numbers. Oops. Not to worry, I got it right when I set it up; I just mis-remembered the numbering convention when I wrote the email. That's what I get for using MY memory cells instead of the computer's! ;) Jim _______________________________________________ Seawolf-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/seawolf-list
