Hi Siju which is your /boot partition... md2 (hdd3)? In which case you need to do something like: mdadm --add hda3 (to md2 .... I forget the syntax but it should be in those reference links I posted or man mdadm. However, I think I also read in one of those that it is better to install the /boot partition directly to the additional drive before adding it to the raid array. Have a look through the references but I think Roberto suggested this to you or someone else doing raid currently. There was a post from Alvin in the last 6months which gave a pretty thorough run down on how to test your raid setup; it involved yanking one disk and pulling the power supply ;) worth searching the archive for .... try in google: site:lists.debian.org debian-user alvin raid 2005 test .... brings up 33 entries;) Regards Clive -- www.clivemenzies.co.uk ... ...strategies for business -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
