No, but the fact that root is actually 'ext2' even though mount (and presumably fstab) thinks it is ext3 is a bit suspicious. > > Exactly how did you tell lilo to use /dev/md0? > > With > > root=/dev/md0 > > as an option in lilo.conf, or with > > append= "root=/dev/md0" > > I think I've only tried the former (with and without an earlier line, > before the image stanzas, saying root=/dev/hdb1) If there are any "root=/dev/hdb1" lines in lilo.conf, I suggest taking them out. I think you currently have /dev/hdb1 as your root filesystem still. You can easily check this: mkdir /a /b mount /dev/hdb1 /a mount /dev/md0 /b > /a-file ls -l /?/a-file If the ls finds "/a/a-file", then /dev/hdb1 is root. If it finds /b/a-file, then /dev/md0 is root. If it still doesn't work, post your lilo.conf NeilBrown - 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
