Neil, sdj and sdk are FS Type 'Linux'. all the other partitions are FS Type 'Linux raid autodetect' I don't remember ever having to set the partition type. It's not in my build notes for this machine or another 13 drive server. Should I change partition type to 'Linux raid autodetect'? If so, how can I verify array configuration prior to rebooting? Thanks for the reply Neil. I never checked that. Craig ps. My new drives are certainly getting a workout through this learning process.
