Yeah, that'd work, or you could have created it with both devices, but specifing hdf6 *first*: mdadm -C /dev/md3 -n2 -l1 /dev/hd[fh]6 As for md1, I'm not sure what to make of that. I'd be a little wary of it, once the array is created/started the superblock must be written, so I'm worried about why the kernel thought it wasn't there. Probably nothing though, I've had partitions kicked out of arrays before, even though they go back in fine. -- Mike Williams -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
