Erwin: You'll need to create a file system on the array then specify its mount point on /etc/fstab. For big file systems I would recommend either reiserfs or xfs (it's up to you), remember that you may need to modify your intial ramdisk again. mkfs -t (xfs|reiserfs|ext3) /dev/sdb or create a partition (or several partitions) on /dev/sdb mkfs -t (xfs|reiserfs|ext3) /dev/sdb1 The add the following line to fstab /dev/sdb /mountpoint xfs|reiserfs|ext3 defaults 1 1 Or /dev/sdb1 /mountpoint xfs|reiserfs|ext3 defaults 1 1 /mountpoint can be any folder, /home is a good options unless your /home is already full of stuff) For sharing the obvious choice is samba. Just add a share in smb.conf for the /mountpoint and you'll be ready to go.

And this initial ramdisk is really used and not the older one with the other 3ware module? I ask because /boo/initrd/ is not a default path that Fedora uses. It works but you have to be sure the path to the initrd.img file in the grub.conf matches this path. The default path - used in /etc/grub.conf - is /boot/initrd-2.6.8-1.521smp.img. Alexander /etc/grub.conf contains Initrd /initrd-2.6.8-1.521smp.img I made the ramdisk again with /sbin/mkinitrd -v - f /boot/initrd-2.6.8-1.521smp.img 2.6.8-1.521smp All went well and there were some messages saying the 3w-9xxx module is used After a reboot /dev/sdb is stil there ! After shutdown/power off/power on, everything still ok ! In /etc/sysconfig/hwconf there is driver: 3w-xxxx That's also what I see when using the hardware browser GUI, but it seems to work anyway. Thanks a lot to everybody who helped me out on this. It's a nice experience to meet people who are willing to help without having to pay them. I've learned a lot from your answers. Now I'm going to find out how to mount the array to my file system and share it with a windows client. I guess this will not be my last message :-).
