You are right. But in my case groot and root are the same, because I don't have a separate partition for /boot. Anyways, the real problem is, that convert_raid1 gives the wrong results because the output format of mdadm has changed. Do you know if the output format of /proc/mdstat is stable? If so, we could use that instead of "mdadm -D -b". Michael -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
