The problem is that the machine that this happened on is remote. (It's in USA and I'm in Sweden).. And there's noone around there who can do experimenting. The most they can do is reset the box, which is not fun either, because it's a "semi-production" box.. I will have to live with non-concatenated disks.. I guess I'll survive :)..
