Hey, dmraid I believe is the linux implementation of 'fakeraid' - the onboard motherboard raid. In my understanding this has none of the benefits of either software _or_ hardware raid and many of the pitfalls. With the buzz-word 'fakeraid' it should be trivial to find more info if you so desire. dmraid and mdadm can co-exist quite happily, they should choose non-conflicting /dev/ nodes and/or fail gracefully. By placing /dev/md1 where you did in the mdadm command line you were effectively listing it as a component device of the array you were trying to start. Not a problem, but not the desired result. I'm not sure why 'missing' didn't work, perhaps it is a 'create' mode only option. How'd you go? cheers, Owen. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
