I didn't express myself clearly. # mdadm -C /dev/md0 -l1 -n2 /dev/ram1 /dev/ram2 Now /dev/md0 has sector size 1024 and can be opened by parted 1.8.8. Doesn't it make it suitable for testing? -- Regards, Feri. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
