It is up and running, but after trying to install the second drive I am running into some problems. I have tried pdisk to partition the drive but I keep getting errors, saying it cannot write to Block:1. I have dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=100k the drive to wipe it clean. Any help would be much appreciated. Best Regards, Ryan
