But do I need to format the harddrive file with fdisk before doing raidhotadd or anything like that ? or can I just plug in a new harddrive directly from the factory to the machine? If I do "fdisk /dev/hde1" and list the partiton (where hde1 is part of md0), I see that the partiton type is "Linux RAID autodetect". So I don't know if "raidhotadd' will take care of this or what (ie. creating and formating partition). Thanks. RDB -- Reuben D. Budiardja Dept.
