Hi, > clearly best i read up more, and -- for now -- get it right the 1st > time @ create. well, for RAID-1 types, there is a (dirty) trick to change this kind of information. Mount the partition read-only, if it is not possible (system), you'll have to use a live CD. Fail and remove one of the components of the RAID-1. Zero the superblock of the removed component and re-create a RAID-1, using a "missing" device, setting the proper features, with this component. Create a filesystem on the new RAID-1 volume. Mount it read-write and copy the files from the old to the new. Stop the old RAID-1 volume, zero the superblock, add the, now clean, component to the newly created array. Now, this could be risky, of course, since during the process there is no mirror. Also, if you make a mistake and do not realize in time, there is the possibility to end up with no data in both RAIDs. This means that, clearly, if you try this trick, you'll do at your own risk... bye, -- piergiorgio -- 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
