I meant to get around to this, but it seems I had to "fast track" the building of my new server, and it necessitated two new hard disks (raid0) and a new debian install. And so far, it seems both the raid1 root, and raid5 data arrays are properly building and mounting. Sorry for the noise. If I see it again I'll try and figure it out. The only hint I might have is that it might have fixed itself when I added raid5 to the initramfs modules file. Not sure though. > NeilBrown > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in > the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html > -- Thomas Fjellstrom tfjellstrom@shaw.ca
