Hi Suvayu, Thanks for that. You are right that it is not true RAID, but it worked with fc8 and fc11 and I expected it to work with fc12 too. I have looked briefly at software RAID but did not pursue it. I shall look at it again when I have a moment but in the mean time, if there is a solution for the "RAID" controller I have it would be good.
