I have attached a file with the relevant lsdrv (great little program btw) to this message - should I expect changes to it after my array is up (well, except for the components not to be recognized as spare, of course)? > HTH, It sure did - thanks a bunch! :) -- with best regards: - Johannes Truschnigg ( johannes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ) www: http://johannes.truschnigg.info/ phone: +43 650 2 133337 xmpp: johannes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Please do not bother me with HTML-eMail or attachments.
