Hi! I've installed my system with the RH6.1 installation process to be a small boot partition, a small swap part., a bigger raid0 swap part and a really big raid0 root partition. Now this is with kernel 2.2.12-20, and the system uses an initrd to load the raid0 module. When I try to upgrade to

Hi, I have mount handly raid on 2.2.12. it works fine :) The problem is: how to make a fsck on start, usually done on /dev/sda1 etc, because it does not want to make a fsck on /dev/md0 :( At the moment I have the /etc/fstab to not allow the check but it is not a good solution I think. Thanks Octa
