Thanks in advance, Well, a question at first :) Why do you need to run lilo after you failed one of the mirrors? Anyways - I'm running lilo on degraded arrays and it works very well. Thus, I presume, it works for you too, once you remove the failed mirror from the array. regards, Mario -- Whenever you design a better fool-proof software, the genetic pool will always design a better fool.
