and thanks to you pointing that out, it clicked in my head that i was able to play with partition sizes and setup both a software raid 1 and software raid 5 on the same set of 4 drives, so i've got red hat running on the 4500 temporarily while i try and restore data from a 4400 before i part with it.

it just means i can now play around and try to figure out how to quiet the bitch down (or the hairdryer as you called it in another post)

side note: i've not much experience with a software raid setup, is it dependent on the OS surviving? for example in my situation if the raid 1 broke and destroyed the OS or even if the OS just became corrupt and unrecoverable, the data on the raid5 would no longer be salvagable right?

if the answer to that is yes, then how does the data on the software raid5 in GOS survive when the os itself is reinstalled?....or am i just assuming it does, when in reality the data doesn't survive?

@phoenix, i tried booting my 4400 with the bad drive last night, and it did boot, but the web page would not show up (previously it had) and i could not ssh in (connection refused) but i could try to access the unc path and get prompted for a login and password. i thought i correctly recalled both the root and admin default passwords but they didn't seem to let me in,

@all: is there another combo i could try to attempt to access the shares, or is windows access to the shares turned off by default on the OS so that no matter what i'm locked out?
