My array is raid5, so I decided to overwrite the big-endian superblocks and assemble the array. Your patch worked as expected and the array is functioning properly. Thanks for the help. Is there a simple way convert the superblocks back to big-endian while the drives are connected to the little-endian machine? -Brent __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
