The two disks are /dev/sda and /dev/sdb. They have just replaced two smaller disks where the root partiton was NOT a raid device - it was just /dev/sda2 although there was a raided boot partition in the first partition. Hardware only supports 2 sata channels. I wanted to revert to root partition to the same state as one I just took out, so I failed and removed sdb_why_? This doesn't make any sense.
The old system was built with proprietary NVidia Driver and maybe (I can't remember) built from source Nova T stuff. That had worked perfectly for the last 6 months or so with no locking up.
The (supposed) quickest way to try it was to revert to that system. But the disks I had taken out where too small for the other jobs I need this box to do so it was a question of copying the fully configured system over.
