Are you able to mount the md from a running system (not as / root)? > Thanks for your help, > Harold - -- Regards Michael Buesch [ http://www.tuxsoft.de.vu ] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/ktUGoxoigfggmSgRAsymAJ9g4bPy+8S+Mq5zkOC+N2BLSQJmUACfcr5l hSHv/lWFF5UEA2NrSbFX5OA= =V//M -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
