Hello Everyone:

I've been lurking for a while, trying to figure
out what I've done wrong, to no avail.

So I created a RAID 5 Array w/3 9.1 GB drives, but
no matter WHAT I do I cannot format the damned
thing!  AH!  How do I nuke what I've done and
start again?  Here are the errors I'm getting:

[root@euskadi raidtools-0.90]# /sbin/mkraid

Ctrl-C if unsure!

Can someone help me?
