I'd recommend not doing anything with the 40GB drive except running badblocks -n on it for a few days, just to make sure it's OK. If it's in any way dubious, using it for RAID is somewhat pointless, and using it for backup purposes is a snare and a delusion. -- Pigeon Be kind to pigeons Get my GPG key here: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x21C61F7F
