Is that a hardware RAID? If so, Linux should only see the one device. What is the RAID card? It sounds like a driver problem of some sort. BTW, are you sure it shows 512mb and not 528mb? It may be that the RAID card is set (or not set) to do drive translation that is incompatible with Linux. I haven't used Linux with SCSI let alone RAID so I'm just working of theory but, if you can provide the above information, I'll provide any more help that I can. If all else fails, somebody that knows what they're talking about will eventually notice the thread! ;-) Jason -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
