Ah, I thought you were referring to actually storing information from the disk itself, such as the bootsector or MBR, not just a list of the partition info. There's also a great resource on recovering a failed array here: https://raid.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/RAID_Recovery Thanks, Alex -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
