I'll need HW here in the lab that uses the format in question, otherwise its way too tedious to figure out, and impossible to maintain (as you have found out). So until someone makes that happen I wont be able to do much about it, sorry but I have to prioritize my sparse spare time somehow.. > > I know I could always use software RAID but would really appreciate > any info on this. Well, its software RAID no matter what, just a question about the BIOS knowing about it or not :) -S=C3=B8ren ----------------------------------------------------------------- Having no means to provide the same server to him I ended up using FreeBSD's software RAID. :) Hope that helps.
