Yup! And I have done nasty things to the system, just to see. For example doing aide --update, updatedb, an intensive write process and a CPU-intensive computation process simultaneously. It should put maximum stress on the system, both power-wise, disk use and CPU... Never seen any errors, and certainly no other problems... It is just that it isn't detected at startup... "Detecting primary master.... None" In fact, I have been planning to put this disk in my server system to make it software RAID with the disk it has allready, since that system is rebooted very seldomly... :-) Thanks for all the kind advices, keep them coming, it is time for a nap around here... :-) Cheers, Kjetil -- Kjetil Kjernsmo Programmer / Astrophysicist / Ski-orienteer / Orienteer / Mountaineer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Homepage: http://www.kjetil.kjernsmo.net/ OpenPGP KeyID: 6A6A0BBC -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
