. When you first asked for help you were building the mirror on /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1. Now you're building it on /dev/hdb1 and /dev/hdc1.

Thanks for the clear explanation. I gave it a try, but it didn't work. It may be because I used the 'old' raid as compiled into the standard 2.2.13 kernel. That'll be exactly why. Don't use the old RAID code unless you have a good reason to. I've been very confused by the various raid docs
