I suppose this is just another raid management tool, and that i can safely use mkraid from raidtools instead, provided i set my normal partitions as "failed-disk" in /etc/raidtab, as explained in http://unthought.net/Software-RAID.HOWTO/Software-RAID.HOWTO-4.html#ss4.4 Am i correct here ? -- Guillaume Rousse GPG key http://lis.snv.jussieu.fr/~rousse/gpgkey.html
