Hah, I thought I was being a bit over-zealous. I'm actually on this
full-time right now :) 
Anyway, thanks for the quick response.

I don't know how to use sysfs. Whenever I run dmraid, it always says
something about not finding the sysfs mount point and carrying on with
/dev/. I've been running SuSE 9.1 with a 2.6.7 kernel, if that makes any
difference. I'm about to try a 2.6.8 kernel now. 

Guess I'll google for sysfs. Any pointers from anyone most welcome.

Cheers,
