Thanks Chris, I may go ahead and bring the two filesystems together. Its too
bad though.
The two partitions are contiguous on a RAID5 device (compaq 3000) how big a
deal is it to bring the two together? I did not do the initial install and
have 0 experience with the raid stuff. Seems like my partner used to compaq
tools to set up the raid and then everything was jammin. Here is the output
of fdisk -l:
/dev/ida/c0d0p1 * 10 25 65280 83 Linux

and mount:
dev/ida/c0d0p6 on / type ext2 (rw)
none on /proc type proc (rw)

(rw,fd=5,pgrp=1147,minproto=2,maxproto=3)
/dev/ida/c0d0p12 on /pub/SoftWare type ext2 (rw)
as you can see the partitions in question are c0d0p11 and 12
could I just delete c0d0p12 and make the end point for 11 the old 12 endpoint
then mkfs /dev/ida/c0d0p11 and copy from a backup?
getting kind of dark down here at these lower levels :-)
