But why not just use the Install/Repair CD and partition your new sda properly, and make sda5 type swap again?
Both sdb and sdc are fully partitioned in the hardware raid with:
/dev/mapper/nvidia_haheegdb_part1 69972 15457 50902 24% /boot /dev/mapper/nvidia_haheegdb_part2 20641788 5114476 14478672 27% / /dev/mapper/nvidia_haheegdb_part3 219648612 12348660 196142408 6% /home
What does any of that have to do with sda?
Second, and most relevant, I was scared to death to mess with the fully functional array with a new install and temp fate with the partitioner screwing up the system. See:
if you properly size the partitions on sda, then the hardware raid should repopulate the other partitions.

You're not installing software. I'm not going to ask you if you understand how RAID works, because even people who don't understand something often think that they do. So instead, I will ask you this: Why do you think that your RAID will not repopulate the other partitions on sda if they are part of the RAID structure? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
