Which perhaps should be a lesson to a slightly knowlegeable user not to read a thread like this. But having given myself a headache trying to figure this all out, I guess I'll just go ahead and ask directly. I've setup a RAID-5 array using two internal 250 Gig HDs and two external 250 Gig HDs through a USB-2 interface. Each of the externals is on it's own card, and the internals are on seperate IDE channels. I "thought" I was doing a good thing by doing all of this and then setting them up using an ext3 filesystem. >From the reading on here I'm not clear if I should have specified something besides whatever ext3 does by default when you set it up, and if so if it's something I can still do without having to redo everything. Something I'd rather not do to be honest. Thanks in advance, Ewan --- http://a1.blogspot.com - commentary since 2002
