Re: Re Help with ES v3 Raid

I looked into this and cannot find raidtab config file. All I could find
when running whereis raidtab was /usr/share/man/man5/raidtab.5.gz

Do I need to install extra packages for this? I looked in the add/remove
packages but cannot find anything relevant unless it is under
Development tools or Kernel Development.

thanks

Marc
