The array currently shows up as > 'degraded'. On a somewhat related note.. In my experience V-RAID is utter crap - if one of your disks fails in a=20 RAID1 array and you reboot it will give you 2 options - erase the first=20 part of your disk and boot, or sit and do nothing. When I asked my motherboard vendor about this they suggested I switch to=20 SATA mode (to boot off one disk) or to put another disk in and=20 rebuild... Not exactly good for unattended use. This was on an Epox 8HDAI Pro, I don't know if it's any better now or=20 not. =2D-=20 Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C --nextPart17352725.yZm5V6t1e1 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBGU5sk5ZPcIHs/zowRAhPHAJ9kd5Y11vj6qZGQ977P9TjH83i3vgCfZRWT +7vByD+74zfZOMKo0SzywI8= =gqAr -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart17352725.yZm5V6t1e1--
