If you anticipate wanting to add mirrors later you can specify one partition as 'missing' when you create a raid 1 arrary and it will work fine without it, but allow adding later with mdadm. However, if that wasn't done when the array was created you can't change it later. --- Les Mikesell les@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
