Thanks for this, I'll have another go.
To save confusion my system is as follows:
17Gb IDE drive with partition 1 mounted as root
40Gb IDE drive, single ext3 partition mounted on /data
4Gb SCSI drive with various ext2 partitions
2x9.1Gb SCSI drives with RAID 0 partitions to give /dev/md0 mounted on /home
raidtab as follows:
raiddev /dev/md0
raid-level 0
persistent-superblock 1
chunk-size 4
nr-raid-disks 2
device /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target2/lun0/part1
raid-disk 0
device /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target3/lun0/part1
raid-disk 1
fstab as follows:
/dev/hdc1 / ext3 defaults 1 1
/dev/ide/host1/bus1/target0/lun0/part1 /data ext3 defaults 0 2
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 ro,nosuid,noauto,exec,user,nodev 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy vfat sync,nosuid,noauto,user,nodev,unhide 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part2 /usr/local/squid/cache/squid0
ext2 defaults 0 0
/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target2/lun0/part5 /usr/local/squid/cache/squid1
ext2 defaults 0 0
/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target3/lun0/part5 /usr/local/squid/cache/squid2
ext2 defaults 0 0
/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part3 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/md0 /home ext2 noauto 0 0
Sorry for any confusion.
Mark
