You shouldn't make a file system on the real disk partitions. This is the procedure you should try:
- Partition your disks with your favorite partition program - Make your RAID devices with mkraid - Run mke2fs -j on the resultant /dev/md device - Mount and use When you reboot your rc.sysinit script with start your RAID devices. Make sure you add your mount point and device to /etc/fstab if you want to have it mounted at boot time. That's it.

I ended up having to recreate the RAID, format the RAID and then mount it...which I don't want to have to write a script for, I thought it was supposed to mount automagically... -- Stephen Kuhn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Kuhn Media Australia -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
