Re: Help with ES v3 Raid1 (Mirror)

O got it working by replacing the last line in fstab from 1 2 to 0 0. I
guess it had to due with privileges?

When I log in I now see my /home/apps directory. I will copy stuff
into /home/apps, then unmount it. if my data is not there, I will
re-mount it. if my data is there I guess my mounting worked. Would this
be a valid test?

thanks
Marc
