Who knows. I've just tried to swap the 2 promise cards for 2 highpoint cards - with fairly disastrous results )-: It booted, recognised the 4 disks (hde,g,i,k) but then started to whinge about DMA errors and general badness, so put the promise cards back in and it's now hapilly rebuilding the raid arrays. Maybe it's having 2 promise (or highpoint) cards? I had one highpoint card in another PC for a few days and it was performing well... It's very annoying, whatever it is, and unfortunately I don't have the resources or time to try to really get to the bottom of this )-: Gordon - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
