I was copying each directory as a sub directory to the mount point with the above commands - I needed to user: cp -axu /usr/* /mnt/md2 etc once the partitions were copied over to the raid devices properly I was able to boot up using the RAID devices then add the origianl partitions to the array and be RAID1 across the board. _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org Got pictures for TCLUG?
