Is it correct that the mismatch value after a repair was needed should equal the value present after a check? What if it doesn't? What does it mean if another check STILL reveals mismatches? I had something similar after i reshaped from raid 5 to 6 i had to run check/repair/check/repair several times before i got my 0. ----------------------- N: Jon Hardcastle E: Jon@eHardcastle.com 'Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring worries of its own.' *********** Please note, I am phasing out jd_hardcastle AT yahoo.com and replacing it with jon AT eHardcastle.com *********** -----------------------
