Yes, I argued that things were going like that; this is not a real problem but made me think - probably just like many other unexperienced people - that something went wrong creating the arrays. I didn't find any reference to this in the package documentation, maybe it should be a nice idea to add there an explicit description of this behaviour... or to find a more silent way to look for UUIDs: partitions with different UUIDs are simply members of different arrays, right? If this is true the array can't just be assembled and those messages could simply be redirected to /dev/null... I mean that maybe those messages should be visible only if the member partitions were explicitly specified but their UUIDs are different. > To debug this, I need more output.

Try it and lt me know. OK, I'll try this as soon as I can have my hands on that keyboard. Thank you! Mau -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
