First of all a big thank you for your fast replies the tipp with the usb-subsystem loading time. Thanks to some tutorials I got this working (just create an initrd that preloads the usb/scsi subsystems. However I now have another strage problem: 1.) When booting up my USB hd is detected before raid is initialized. 2.) The MD Driver tells me that it can only find /dev/sda1 of the array, although all partition-types are set correctly ("fd"). Please have a look at the dmesg-output I atached. 3.) Mout tells me, that /dev/md0 is mounted on "/" - in /etc/fstab there is only written something like / $LABEL (or something like that - I think it has something todo with grub, dont know if it was called LABEL). 4.) If I write data to / only my internal harddisk (/dev/hda3) is involved, althought / is /dev/md0 (accoring to mount) and the raid-driver told me that only /dev/sda1 (usb) is used. 5.) If I do hdparm -tT /dev/md0 only my usb-drive is benchmarked. 6.) If I ask /proc/mdstat it also tells me that only /dev/sda1 is aktive. Does anybody have an idea whats going wrong. I am quite confused :-( I am more and more playing with the thought that I just a small partition as root-partitions and symlink /usr and /opt to my raid. Would that make sence and would it hurt the performance much? I know such newbie questions are nerving, but I played with raid for now several hours and I really don't see any way to procees any further thats why I am bothering you. Thanks in advance and sorry for creating so much traffic. lg Clemens Heres dmesg's output: Linux version 2.6.9-1.667 (bhcompile@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) (gcc version 3.4.2 20041017 (Red Hat 3.4.2-6.fc3)) #1 Tue Nov 2 14:41:25 EST 2004 BIOS-provided physical RAM map: BIOS-e820: 0000000000000000 - 000000000009f400 (usable) BIOS-e820: 000000000009f400 - 00000000000a0000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 00000000000d0000 - 00000000000d8000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 00000000000e4000 - 0000000000100000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 0000000000100000 - 000000000fdf0000 (usable) BIOS-e820: 000000000fdf0000 - 000000000fdff000 (ACPI data) BIOS-e820: 000000000fdff000 - 000000000fe00000 (ACPI NVS) BIOS-e820: 000000000fe00000 - 0000000010000000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 00000000fff00000 - 0000000100000000 (reserved) 0MB HIGHMEM available. 253MB LOWMEM available. zapping low mappings.
