It doesn't appear to have 'parted' installed. what kind of raid is this? hardware, mdraid, what? if hardware raid, then what sort of hardware raid controller, and does that controller support moving volumes between systems? are both systems totally identical hardware? in that case, I'd simply move ALL the disks, including the system volume. -- john r pierce 37N 122W somewhere on the middle of the left coast
