I'd really suggest to run DM (either LVM2 or EVMS2) on top of md instead. It's much more flexible; I don't see any benefit in 'old style' partition information, which has all sorts of problems - ie, non-transactional updates (_why_ were you running raid again? ;), static as they can't be modified during runtime etc. Sincerely, Lars Marowsky-Brée <lmb@suse.de> -- High Availability & Clustering \ ever tried. ever failed. no matter.
