ISTR that's because of the hostname stored in the RAID, so when you plug the array into another computer, it doesn't clobber any existing array names. I had this happen when transplanting an array to a new system. There is a sequence of commands to reset the names but it was a while ago and all I remember is that the sequence started with "man lvm". -- Neil Bothwick Q How many screws are there in a lesbians coffin?
