I may be wrong but simply 'e'diting the boot menu at boot time doesn't write back anything to the filesystem. I edit my boot string all the time to try out all sorts of kernel arguments like "ide=nodma" and upon the next reboot that modification is gone. Until you actually put it in /boot/grub/grub.conf is won't stick or do an "install" from within grub, then I can't see why grub is altering your /boot filesystem to get the mirror out of sync. Sounds like a bug! -eric wood Bill Rugolsky Jr. wrote: > desynchronizes the RAID1 set.
