Whenever I run dmraid, it always says something about not finding the sysfs mount point and carrying on with /dev/. I've been running SuSE 9.1 with a 2.6.7 kernel, if that makes any difference. I'm about to try a 2.6.8 kernel now. Guess I'll google for sysfs. Any pointers from anyone most welcome. Cheers, Jane
