Hi Steve,

I have my swap partition going across a raid0 array (as it was with the 
Debian system) and my one other raid1 array, going across two drives, 
whose mount point is '/' and I didn't assign a separate partition for 
'/boot' so it would be included under this.  I have some free, 
non-partitioned, space on each drive also but it'd hardly be trying to 
mount these. I can't think of any other relevant details which may be 
affecting things.

Cheers,

Sonic
