(In addition to the above messages, see the syslog and /proc/mdstat as well for potential clues.) -16 is EBUSY, which is unepexted since nothing else is using that disk. At this stage /proc/mdstat contains: Personalities : [raid1] md0 : inactive hda2[0] 35077824 blocks unused devices: Wichert. -- Wichert Akkerman It is simple to make things. http://www.wiggy.net/ It is hard to make things simple.
