I had a system crash recently, and I took a good look at my own syslog messages and /proc/mdstat. And my own entries look very different from yours.
My question is: did you recompile and install the patched kernel? I suspect that you didn't, and you're trying to use the new-style raid tools on a kernel which doesn't support that. Here are the steps to take: 1. Install the kernel source package and kernel-package. 2. Apply the patch (see the files in /usr/share/doc/patch-raid-*/ for more information). 3. Configure (make menuconfig) and compile (make-kpkg kernel_image) the kernel. (See man make-kpkg and the documentation in /usr/share/doc/kernel-package .) 4. Install the resulting package (dpkg -i kernel-image-*.deb). Post here if you have problems anywhere along the way. -- G. ``Iggy'' Geens - ICQ: #64109250 Home: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Work: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> WWW: http://users.pandora.be/guy.geens/ `I want quality, not quantity.
