Ok but how does Centos recognise the ARRAY? Is the Array's configuration stored some where? SUSE uses raidtab. The only raid type conf file on my other Centos boxes is /etc/mdadm.conf So you mean to tell me I just have to make sure reiserfs is installed, then just mount like this in fstab /dev/md0 /home/tera reiserfs defaults 1 2 #mount -a and bang everything in done? Something tells me it can't be that easy. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS at centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
