Thanks for reply, I know I _should_, but in case of failure of one drive, ataraid become unusable (kernel oopsses). It's a home computer so I have to wait several days for replacement of the hard drive, and want to work as usually (keeping my finger crossed) during this period. The question is still open: do I run into troubles mixing software and Promise raid? Let's assume, that Linux do not touch /dev/ataraid/* devices, and /dev/mdX is using only /dev/hdeX and /dev/hdgX partitions. -- Marcin
