It was created after installation # vi /etc/raidtab # fdisk /dev/sdc2 # fdisk /dev/sdd2 # mkraid -R /dev/md0 # mkfs -j /dev/md0 # e2label /home /dev/md0 > I don't think your problem is labels, I think it is that your array isn't > started when mounting occurs. I think you are right, question is like why it works with /dev/md0 and not with the disklabel which well works when I have already booted the system. If I reboot the disklabel fails. > It could be that your raid modules aren't in your initrd, it could be that > your raidtab or mdadm configs aren't correct or how you created the array > makes it hard for the OS to find it at boot time. I did do a mkinitrd :) this just puzzles me. I might try to do a raidsetup with Anaconda and see if that works with disklabels or not. Thanks for your suggestions! //Christian
