Comment 2 Michael Young 2005-03-01 15:28:39 UTC
The error seems to be with the raid disks (which incidentally are exactly the
same size). I have now worked around the problem by removing the sda1 and sdb1
partitions, then letting it size the raid itself (having made sure that the only
free space was where sda1 and sdb1 had been).
