Making the RAID-partitions come before the swap areas worked around the problem, eg now I'm successfully using Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 19457 156288321 fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/hdb1 * 1 19452 156248158+ fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/hdb2 19453 19929 3831502+ 82 Linux swap (only one swap area instead of one on each disk, yes) cheers, &rw -- -- "whatever-the-plural-of-penis" -- "Marketing department" -- - b***-net
