Hi again, I tried upgrading the firmware available on siliconimage.com, but aparently my PCI card already has the latest firmware on it. I have attached the output of two commands which may prove useful. The two drives are two identical seagate 120gb drives. livecd64 root # dmraid -vvv -r /dev/hd[eg] WARN: locking /var/lock/dmraid/.lock NOTICE: skipping removable device /dev/sda NOTICE: skipping removable device /dev/hdc NOTICE: /dev/hde: hpt37x discovering NOTICE: /dev/hde: hpt45x discovering NOTICE: /dev/hde: isw discovering NOTICE: /dev/hde: lsi discovering NOTICE: /dev/hde: nvidia discovering NOTICE: /dev/hde: pdc discovering NOTICE: /dev/hde: sil discovering NOTICE: /dev/hde: via discovering NOTICE: /dev/hdg: hpt37x discovering NOTICE: /dev/hdg: hpt45x discovering NOTICE: /dev/hdg: isw discovering NOTICE: /dev/hdg: lsi discovering NOTICE: /dev/hdg: nvidia discovering NOTICE: /dev/hdg: pdc discovering NOTICE: /dev/hdg: sil discovering NOTICE: /dev/hdg: via discovering No Software RAID disks WARN: unlocking /var/lock/dmraid/.lock livecd64 root # dmraid -vvv -b NOTICE: skipping removable device /dev/sda NOTICE: skipping removable device /dev/hdc INFO: Block devices discovered: /dev/hde: 234441648 total, "L31J6LTY" /dev/hdg: 234441648 total, "L31JYJVL" -- Richard Powell (richard@xxxxxxx) _______________________________________________ Ataraid-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ataraid-list
