(I assume sda was locked from having its partition table reread) - how did md even think sda1 should be part of md127 when -E tells me there is no SB? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
