Thank you. This time it worked. I strictly followed the example described in softraid(4) and everything worked. I also found an emain in archives suggesting to actually wipe the disks before softraid reconfigurations using dd from a live linux boot; I did so, actually I completely wiped all 3 disks (just to be on the safe side), then everything went ok. Tomorrow I'll start copying things on the raid0 drive. Thank you all again, byee, Manuel
