no. you did no mention, and i did not think of it. [see bellow] <snip> > Ah, I've just noticed something. Initially your were referring to > dmraid -- the device mapper RAID.

They are two separate RAID entities. md is from the path; "/lib/modules/2.6.18-164.11.1.el5/kernel/drivers/md/" where the 'dm-*' modules that load are. modules loaded, in order, short form. i did not write down version numbers or full of 'device-mapper' messages; dm-mem dm-mod device-mapper .... device-mapper .... dm-log dm-reg dm-messages dm-raid device-mapper .... i can reboot and get full if you need. <snip> > Go back about half a screen in the /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit file and you > will find the section of code where any mdraid is started: > > [quote] > # RAID setup > update_boot_stage RCraid > [ -x /sbin/nash ] && echo "raidautorun /dev/md0" | nash --quiet 2>/dev/null > if [ -f /etc/mdadm.conf ]; then > /sbin/mdadm -A -s > fi > [/quote] yes. when i had "/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit" open to comment out what i wrote in other post, i did a 'find' to see where else had word 'raid'. i commented this out because i ran 'man mdadm' and did not believe that mdadm was active because there is no "/etc/mdadm.conf" along with fact that i commented out all of "# RAID setup" to help insure that nothing raid related was in file. in other words, *all* that relates to 'raid' is commented out. only thing i have not done is run 'mkinitrd'. so, should i run 'mkinitrd' or not? > This suggests to me that you should ensure there isn't a mdadm.conf > file in your /etc/ directory . . . # locate mdadm.conf /usr/share/doc/mdadm-2.6.9/mdadm.conf-example /usr/share/man/man5/mdadm.conf.5.gz # -- peace out. tc,hago. g . **** in a free world without fences, who needs gates. ** help microsoft stamp out piracy - give linux to a friend today. ** to mess up a linux box, you need to work at it. to mess up an ms windows box, you just need to *look* at it. ** learn linux: 'Rute User's Tutorial and Exposition' http://rute.2038bug.com/index.html 'The Linux Documentation Project' http://www.tldp.org/ 'LDP HOWTO-index' http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX/index.html 'HowtoForge' http://howtoforge.com/ ****
