I did a quick check, and # dmraid -r No RAID disks Doesn't look like there is anything defined. I know that both sdb and sdc (as well as sda) are connected to SATA cards which support RAID under windows... However, I know there is no arrays defined on them on the cards (at least not by me)... I will bounce the server again and check.

I can happily write all over the disk with dd... I can create and delete the partition, and it's all good... I will try deleting the sd{b,c}1 partitions, reboot, and see what happens. > ls -l /sys/block/*/holders/* ?? NeilBrown ___________________________________________________________ The all-new Yahoo!
