If you have success, let me > know, and I'll enable them. Just to be clear, I'm running testing. I've had a certain level of success with enabling raid0 support on the 2.4.7 kernel-source package from testing. Even managed to get that going when compiling with gcc-3.0 (probably just lucky). The compile barfs on 2.4.9, though it doesn't seem to be in a raid-related area (could be a symptom of a compiler bug, but I don't know yet) I did end up having some trouble with the raid system, though, as it seemed to clobber the partition tables on the second and third disks in my 3 drive group. However, this didn't really matter to me, as I'm using the entirety of these disks and merging them together into one big device. I just changed the config files to point, for example, at /dev/hdb instead of /dev/hdb1. -- Mike Hicks [mailto:mhicks@csom.umn.edu] Unix Support Assistant | Carlson School of Management Office: 1-160 Phone: x67909 | University of Minnesota
