Hmm, I think the dmesg-output doesn't show IO-errors and since we write to the disks (our home-partition is on it), it shouldn't be readonly, either. > > I'm curious about this raidautorun which said: > md: raidautorun(pid 89) used obsolete MD ioctl, upgrade your software to > use new ictls > > That appears to be part of mkinitrd.

I guess it comes from the Suse-start-up-scripts, that try to enable the raid, though it was already enabled by the kernel. The raidautorun-binary comes from the Suse-raidtools package (version 0.9), is there an upgraded version available (I found only patched debian packages, but no general tgz-files) ? So thanks again, Bernd
