Thanks to both of you. I'll, experiment with that the next time I have |
| 18 |
some downtime. I have version 00.90.03 superblocks at the moment so it |
| 19 |
sounds like I should be OK. |

I noticed the new grub-2 is supposed to take care of a lot of this mess, |
| 22 |
or at least it looks like it. It would be a lot nicer to just say "root |
| 23 |
(md1)" and be done with it! |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Hopefully by the time the new superblocks become standard somebody will |
| 26 |
update the various HOWTOs to explain how to set up the initrd to make it |
| 27 |
work... |
