Just to point out - to everyone :-) - that the linux wiki is currently being maintained so pointing people at it is a good idea. And there's a page called "asking for help". Not only does this tell people all the commands (like "cat /proc/mdstat", "mdadm --detail", "mdadm --examine") they should be running to get the info the list is likely to want, but *almost the first thing* on that page is a reminder that many of us here are volunteers, and prompt replies are a privilege not a right. Lusers get spoilt in that we take pride in our work. But can I ask, if you do point people at the wiki, just take a quick glance yourself first. And if you do spot a mistake on the wiki, brickbats and fixes are welcome :-) Cheers, Wol
