Somehow you have two raid1 devices, md0 and md1, each only having one disk. What does your /etc/raidtab file look like? It seems that two individual mirrors were made, with one disk each, not exactly fault tolerant. Where are the file systems? On /dev/md0 or /dev/md1 ? -- Jesse Keating RHCE MCSE (geek.j2solutions.net) Fedora Legacy Team (www.fedora.us/wiki/FedoraLegacy) Mondo DevTeam (www.mondorescue.org) GPG Public Key (geek.j2solutions.net/jkeating.j2solutions.pub) Was I helpful?
