Ok people. I have X86 clone server that has built in IDE RAID. The RAID volume is 1.8T (RAID 5+0). SUSE 9.2 installs just fine and it is quite fast.. after it's booted. The issue is that during boot when it comes time to mount the 1.8T fs .. it takes in the neighborhood of 8 to 15 minutes. It does this regardless of how the machine is shutdown and there is no data on this volume as this is a new build. The project was passed off onto me by a co-worker who had tried Slackware on the machines and let the default Fedora Core install boot through. The other two distro's booted fine on the same hardware config and zoomed past the 1.8T fs like a breeze as long as the fs had been unmounted properly. Anyone have any thoughts? If you need more info.. please tell me. It's been a while since I actually had to ask for help so I'm not sure what details I should give. -Ben -- "There is no need to teach that stars can fall out of the sky and land on a flat Earth in order to defend religious faith."
