OK, if anyone recalls my worries about the bad raid previously... well, it appears the raid card itself was bad... so I went thought a LOT before being told, ust RMA it. I got the replacement card today, plugged it in and it sees the raid and all the drives happy dandy like... as far as it looks to me.
Now, however... nothing seems to know that it's a ext3 fs. It shows as a type 83, and elsewhere it was recommended to set it to type "fd", for linux raid autodetect. I don't know how to do that. I tried to get e2label to just tell me something about the fs or whatever (without any switches) and I get: e2label: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sda1 Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock. So... here I am, not sure what to do about that. The fs is ext3, I'm 99.9% sure of that. thoughts? thanks, Chris (feeling so close to "there") -- c h r i s . m o r a n @ g m a i l . c o m b u t y o u k n o w t h a t a l r e a d y http://www.uvm.edu/~cmoran Dare risk the ChrisPedia
