That is because the RAID was created using tools that do not align at 1Mb. -- .''`. martin f. krafft <madduck@d.o> Related projects: : :' : proud Debian developer http://debiansystem.info `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck http://vcs-pkg.org `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems chaos reigns within. reflect, repent, reboot. order shall return.
