Same (but different) idea here, I'd hate to waste a 250GB for a spare. :-) I still have one LVM issue to figure out, they say that you should set the partition type to 0x8e, but I can't find if that applies to md devices too. And if it does how do you set that. Running 'fdisk /dev/mdx' ? Well, why not I suppose, but I've never ran fdisk on an md device, only mkfs.* Thanks Guy, Maarten -- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
