All is ok. But still have to mirror manually quasi static slices: sdx1 (F0) and sdx3 (/boot). So I umount /boot and made a dd from sdb3 to sda3 Ok and sdb1 to sda1 Ok. But when I try to boot from the mirror (ie sda) bootloader did not find the ipl eventhought the copy of the two F0 slices (I can still boot from sdb)? What do I wrong or better what should I have to resolve this problem? Thanks in advance for advice, Joel ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through Tiscali Webmail (http://webmail.tiscali.be)
