Hello, Just to update the list, as Jim suggested, I couldn't find away to stop the RAID array from initialising during kickstart. However, after a little hunting with google I found a way to throttle back the amount of disk IO to use for the rebuild. This is in : /proc/sys/dev/raid/speed_limit_max /proc/sys/dev/raid/speed_limit_min I reduced both of these down as part of my %pre section and now the kickstart runs at a reasonable speed. Thanks for all your help, and appologies for the stupidly long email disclamer, I have no control over it :-( Paul This e-mail is the property of Quadriga Worldwide Ltd The message (and any associated files) is intended only for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed and may contain information that is confidential, subject to copyright or constitutes a trade secret.
