Fdisk was recommended me by another experienced user too, so there is probably a good reason. Though I don't know, what's wrong with using parted. BTW, this problem partition was not the raid1 partition, but a copy of the boot partition on the startup disk. In case the boot disk ever fails, I hope I can make the 2nd disk bootable by just installing grub. - Jussi -- Jussi Hirvi * Green Spot Topeliuksenkatu 15 C * 00250 Helsinki * Finland Tel. & fax +358 9 493 981 * SMS +358 40 771 2098 jussi.hirvi at greenspot.fi * http://www.greenspot.fi
