I was sent a good paper by John Urish in 2006 titled Software RAID-1 and it is VERY GOOD :-) It is complete and it tells me how to rewrite grub.conf, fstab and initrd so my computer can boot and work with raid :-( Forget it. I am not this interested in RAID! -- Karl F. Larsen, AKA K5DI Linux User #450462 http://counter.li.org.
