iirc, any system with lba should not have this issue. per #5. my cousin had a hell of a time with his raid after a debian upgrade about seven years ago. are there still issues you'll see after an upgrade? maybe, i would definitely check the changelog for md and the likes and give it a week and let others fall before i took that leap. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
