[Followup to previous mail] I looked in /etc/init.d/mdadm-raid (enclosed below) And saw that the script choses between mdadm and mdrun. Funny thing is that if I execute "mdrun" it starts up my arrays. Any clue to why mdadm fails, and mdrun works? cookiemonster:~# cat /etc/init.d/mdadm-raid #!/bin/sh # # Start any arrays which are described in /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf and which are # not running already. # # Copyright (c) 2001-2004 Mario Jou/3en <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> # Distributable under the terms of the GNU GPL version 2.
