If neither work let me know the output. -- Dave Cundiff System Administrator A2Hosting, Inc http://www.a2hosting.com -- 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
