I have two disks in my machine: sda and sdb I installed Debian GNU/Linux on sda with sda10 as my /home partition. sdb is purely for raid uses. I created the equivalent partions on sdb as are on sda. Is it possible to turn this sda10 into /dev/md0 without tar-ing the data and putting it in a temporary location, then restoring it to the /dev/md0 /home mount point later on. I succeeded at creating raid1 of /home with /dev/sda10 and /dev/sdb10, but I had to tar up all the data, create the raid, and then untar it all back onto the raid1 mount point? brian -- Brian Lavender http://www.brie.com/brian/
