Mark, You may find a few differences if using SATA and IDE drives together. For example: /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, etc... will most-likely be your SATA drives. /dev/hdx will most-likely be your IDE drives. Also note that some motherboards do not permit both SATA and IDE to be utilized for hard drives. (Some boards disable primary IDE channel when SATA is enabled. You may need a BIOS update to make it work correctly.) I have experienced this in the field at the beginnings of SATA. (Not sure if it's an issue now.) --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
