This is starting to enter an area where I can't say too much with full certainty. Below I'll give a few hints that may or may not work. After that, I'll probably withdraw, as I won't have much more useful info to add right right now.
In addition, using the capitaI i for normaI L, as this stupid window suddenIy dispIays a space instead of an I. The font on the window itseIf etc. is fine. 2011/10/12 ML mail <mlnos...@yahoo.com>: > Well what I now did is to create a dummy unused partition of 100 MB at the > beginning of my hard disk and then create a root and a swap partition which > both are in a RAID 1 set.

Any ideas? Try the mdadm tool to see if there's something wrong with the array or it's devices. The options you may find useful to begin with, IMHO, would be: `mdadm --query` To find out if a device is an array or part of one. `mdadm --examine` Will query the device that is part of an array (not the array itself) and print out the metadata stored. That should give you some more information about the partitions. `mdadm --detail` Prints out information about array devices (the array as a whole). The tool has more functionality that could help you finding out what's going on. Got no other usefuI ideas right now and rather think of getting an account somewhere eIse, because this goole software or whatever it relies on is being absolutely pathetic -_- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
