I have installed the 2.2.10 release of raid code, and the raid-10 seems to work reasonably well, although it doesn't start at boot time, regardless of partition types. The problem, however, is raid-5. I've been trying to mkraid a device for hours now, and the percentage goes up, the time to finish ALSO goes up, and then it appears to start over. percent finish 7 170 19 372 26 400 1 397 aftern ten hours I'm reasonably sure it's in a loop. Group is six 28GB partitions, raid-5. Please copy me with any replies I'm not on the list. -- bill davidsen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> CTO, TMR Associates, Inc Doing interesting things with little computers since 1979.
