I think your patch for 2.1.5 should also be working for 2.1.6.1 so Nadav might give it a try. It is working for me for 2 days (and nights) now, with a hd and cd on the primary channel and a hd on the secondary. The wd0-disk is my root disk containing /etc, /var and swap and the wd2-disk contains /usr. Building kernels and "make world" did not crash the system. X-Window and Netscape did not crash the system, so I believe it is pretty save. Maybe disklabeling does not work, but I cannot test that one, since both disks are essential to me. During testing I experienced, either it works at once and for ever or not at all, and luckily it never corrupted any data! Is there any one else (besides Jason, Nadav and me) with a CMD640b? Wolfgang
