My comments: is that what is supposed to happen? I have not done 
/dev/sdb yet. 


"elvis" in an earlier post asked me if I had "tried e2fsck to check 
the filesystem first?" According to 'man e2fsk' I have to run that 
command on an unmounted device. If the devices in question, /dev/sda 
and /dev/sdb, comprise the RAID 1, how can I unmount them and still 
use the computer to run those commands? 

Regards, Ken
