UUIDs are important if you want the system to choose the right drive with nu human supervision. Do you often retire drives from a RAID array without human supervision? > Aren't UUIDs supposed to be unique? Roger Yes, they are: somebody did something wrong on your suystem. Odds it was you. It sure was not me :-Þ When did you add the most recent of these drives? How did you add it? Regards, -- Nicolas George
