Hi,
I've been trying to get managing software the RAID 1 down. I've
yet to
figure out how to determine if swap is actually using the RAID or what. I
have noted comments on bootup saying at times that the swap is not
mounting
such and such or that is has apparently failed to start up at all. And
when it does mount, I've yet to see noted what device it actually is
mounting.
Any response with wisdom on digging up the details in the sytem of
swap's
actual state, or that notes where to find such info, will be greatly
ppreciated.

Thanks,
J.O. Aho & Handover Phist for your response. As I suspected the
swap was not starting up on the Debian. I suspect I'd have to re-install
it to get it to work more normal. I made a short script to automate what
I found worked though for now. Debian doesn't appear to use a raidtab,
that I can find. Anyway with all my disk shuffling to get the other 120GB
drive in place as the primary drive. I may have generated a clash that
Debian can't recover from and I can't find a way to fix, as there were two
partitions that had there relative positions swapped in the two drives of
the RAID 1 arrangement. After I properly described the Raid 1 swap and the
other partions concerned on the raidtab in Red Hat 9, and 'mkraid'ing the
swap RAID back into existence, it started working normal at each at startup
again.
Thanks again for you two's support. Mom's hollering again (at least
in my head). Better get to the other thing I need to do...
Sincerely,
Gregory D. MELLOTT
