We are talking about hardware Raid (level 5) I assume and you are saying by some magic the Raid disk gets mounted without any entry in fstab. I the Raid one partition or several partitions? As far as my experience goes nothing gets mounted at boot unless it has a entry in the fstab. Send out you fstab and the result of df or mount command and let see what exactly you are doing. -- ------------------------------------------- Aaron Konstam Computer Science Trinity University 715 Stadium Dr. San Antonio, TX 78212-7200 telephone: (210)-999-7484 email:akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxx
